RECENT PROJECTS
"I wholeheartedly recommend Royal Works for any position that requires a highly skilled and dedicated film professional. I have had the pleasure of working with Shirley Royal in various capacities on multiple projects over the past 5years, most recently on Pedro’s ‘Chicken Wars’ TVC.

She possesses a keen understanding of film financing and resource allocation, consistently bringing projects in on time and within budget, even under challenging circumstances. Her exceptional budget management skills have saved productions a significant amount of money, allowing for greater creative freedom and ensuring the financial viability of each project.

However, Shirley's talents extend far beyond line producing. When needed, she seamlessly transitions into the role of assistant director on set, displaying a deep understanding of filmmaking and a strong collaborative spirit. She effortlessly supports the director's vision while maintaining a positive and productive atmosphere for the entire crew. Shirley's commitment to the creative vision is truly remarkable. She possesses an innate understanding of storytelling and a genuine passion for film. This translates into her work, as she consistently strives to elevate the project and ensure the highest artistic quality."

"I recommend Shirley Royal for any future production management roles. At Red Rock Films International (now Emerge Films), Shirley played a key role as Production Manager on "Jaws Invasion," a special for National Geographic's Shark Week. Her commitment and hard work were vital to our project's success. Shirley's management skills were evident in her ability to coordinate teams, manage schedules, and control budgets effectively, ensuring our project met its deadlines and quality expectations. Her attention to detail and problem-solving abilities were particularly noteworthy, contributing to a well-received production. Beyond her professional skills, Shirley's positive attitude and team spirit made a significant impact on our work environment. She was always ready to support her team, proving herself to be a valuable and versatile member of our crew. I confidently recommend Shirley Royal for any position, assured that her professionalism and dedication will be a great asset to any project. For further information, please feel free to contact me.

"Shirley Royal. When I hear that name, I get excited. I know that if Shirl is on set, everything will work out - no matter the time constraints or technicalities that arise - Shirl WILL sort it out. Always a lady, and always exudes a calm confidence. Couldn't think of anyone better than the trusty Shirley Royal."
