The Production Strategist Behind IM Media’s Career Accelerators & Film Execution

Film Production Strategist | Former AD Department PA | Founder of IM Media

Monique didn’t break into film the easy way — she fought her way in.

She left a steady $70,000 corporate job because the kid who watched Indiana Jones in a double-wide trailer still believed movies were magic. And when she finally made it onto real sets — from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 to The Hate U Give to Coming 2 America — she learned the truth most creatives never get taught:

Film sets don’t run on talent alone. They run on systems. On workflows. On the AD department’s ability to keep chaos from burning the day down. That’s the foundation Monique brings to every creator and production she works with.

She built her career keeping directors, talent, and 15+ departments aligned so production days stay on schedule. Now, she brings that same AD-level structure to filmmakers, brands, and emerging creatives who need more than inspiration — they need a plan.

That experience became the blueprint for IM Media — a production strategy agency and career accelerator built to prepare creatives and productions for real-world execution.

Through IM Media, Monique helps creatives and productions:

• Turn ideas into production-ready plans (Career Acceleration)
• Build workflows modeled after real studio sets (Creative Labs)
• Organize talent, timelines, and departments with clarity (Production Strategy)
• Eliminate confusion, overwhelm, and costly production mistakes
• Show up confident because you understand how sets actually run

Whether she’s supporting your shoot, leading production strategy, or accelerating your career pathway, Monique offers what she wished she had at the start:

A clear path.
A real system.
Execution that works under pressure.
