    Jeanne Dear Caldwell

    After 7 long years living and working in the Los Angeles entertainment industry, I decided to give up on the rat race and follow my dreams to New Zealand. I've been here since December, 2010 and have been casually employed with Metro Productions and Grouse Lighting companies doing theater, event and rock and roll rigging/lighting but my strength is in the film/tv industry. And I'd like to own a flock of sheep... well, maybe just a goat.
