Catherine Baum gets James Cameron camera ready backstage at the National Climate Rally on the National Mall.

Catherine Baum coordinates production shoots, interviews on-camera talent and offloads and transfers HD footage. She also does stand-ups for Double R’s promotional videos. In post-production, Baum writes scripts, selects stock footage and music cuts from various libraries, and she serves as a liaison between client and editor.

Around the Double R offices, Baum manages footage storage, writes and designs print and online marketing communications and supervises three new interns each spring, summer and fall.
