Adam Rittmiller
Burbank
Summary
Dedicated and efficient, committed to achieving tasks with speed and accuracy. Strong organizational skills and an energetic approach, bringing honesty and integrity to work. Following in the footsteps of my grandfather and father, who had successful careers in the film industry, I have immersed myself in this field since the late nineties. While my family's expertise is in WB drapery, my passion lies in property decoration. Thriving on collaboration and working as part of a team to decorate sets. Leading a hardworking and content crew, prioritizing respect and kindness towards everyone we encounter. What sets me apart as a Lead is not only my exceptional crew but also my well-stocked kit, including an abundance of period fixtures, hardware, and drapery.
