RIC WALKINGTON - PRODUCER

Ric Walkington began his career in the theatre as a stage hand in Montreal Canada. Working up through the ranks, Ric has been a lighting designer in theatre, live concert sound engineer, studio recording engineer and a performing musician.

Moving to Vancouver in 1982, Ric continued with the "live side of things" as the General Manager of Kelly Deyong Concert Sound Services. Ric was responsible for the technical direction and production of over 2,500 live events.

In 1986 Ric made the jump into film as an assistant Production Manager. Since then, he has worked "both sides of the desk" in order to better understand the whole of film production.

In Film, Ric has extensive experience as a Property Master which has given him a very real understanding of the requirements of production and has given him the ability to see through the "fog of war" that can sometimes be found \'on-set\'.

As budget and development estimator for Infinity Features and International Keystone Entertainment, Ric has been involved with such diverse projects as "Air Bud", "Behind Enemy Lines", "Just Friends", "Capote", and many others…

As post production manager for the Feature Films "Air Bud", "Air Bud: Golden Receiver" and "Hoods", Ric has had to budget and manage feature films through the post production process.

While working as a Unit Production Manager, Ric has also been challenged by remote filming and tight schedules.

Filming in New York City, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Victoria, and throughout Saskatchewan and the Canadian Maritime region, has given Ric a real understanding of production requirements in a variety of circumstances.
