Two editions of Molodist, from ceremonies to daily festival operations.

Opening and closing ceremonies, the main venue, guests, volunteers and photography: production for the 2020 and 2021 editions connected the stage with the work behind it. A shared plan, budget and clearly assigned team responsibilities kept these operations aligned.

01 / THE BRIEF

Coordinate multiple departments

In 2020 and 2021, I was responsible for producing the scope agreed with the client and coordinating the teams involved. This meant combining ceremony preparation with daily venue operations, guest management, volunteers and media assets.

02 / THE APPROACH

Coordinating ceremonies and festival operations

  • Building the team, budget and work plan within the agreed production scope.
  • Assigning responsibilities to department leads, coordinating the opening and closing ceremonies, and managing daily operations at the main venue.
  • Organising volunteer recruitment and training for each department.
  • Overseeing guest management, the photography team and materials for the press office.
  • Managing client approvals and production risks.
