Andrea Keating
Chairman
Andrea Keating introduced the industry to the concept of a freelance film and video creative outsourcing company in 1988. And since then, “Our industry has changed dramatically with dozens of new ways to capture images and create, edit and deliver content. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the desire to work with very best creative team you can for each and every project. We build those teams for our clients every day.” Andrea is constantly thinking about how she can serve her clients better and is a tech junkie, numbers maniac and serial entrepreneur. As for her other, more whimsical goals, she’d like to invent an everyday product, go to cooking school, and finally learn how to whistle.
Barbara Kittridge
Chief Executive Officer
Barbara Kittridge led business development for major media agency networks and now pivots to bring her marketing, business development and client management experience to Crews Control. “The opportunity to connect world class creative talent to major corporations and companies is critical to drive the marketing and communication initiatives of our client partners. Crews Control has unmatched expertise on a global basis. Getting the talent right for our client’s creative work is our number one obsession at Crews Control.” Barbara’s dedication to service excellence drives all her relationships and partnerships with both client and production crews alike. She is also an avid world traveler and history buff as well as a proud pup Mum to her rescue dog Bella.
Laura Monaco
Vice President of Operations
Laura Monaco is our Vice President of Operations and she is always on the lookout for new ways to streamline all Business Services processes. She has mastered the art of BPA’s, MSA’s and VMS’s and streamlining and managing the Accounting Department. When she is not spoiling her three dogs (Max, Gigi and Scooby,) Laura finds time being a sports spectator of her son playing football, basketball, and lacrosse. Loving everything and anything Italian and with an Italian heritage, it is no surprise that Laura feels at home anywhere in Italy.
Deb Nicharot
Production Manager
Deb brings over 25 years of production experience to Crews Control. She comes to us from Sirens Media where she managed productions for National Geographic, Investigation Discovery as well as nationally aired concerts and live events. A creative since a young age (she danced regional ballet in high school as well as played the tenor saxophone marching in the Tournament of Roses parade and the Aloha Bowl) Deb spends her free time cooking, traveling, watching movies and creating artwork. A life long dog lover she is hoping to adopt a pug in the very near future, another addition to the Crews Control “bring your dog to work” family!
Debbie Camper
Production Manager
Debbie, also known as “DEBORAH” by her coworkers for her no nonsense approach to all things crewing and “a-brewing,” brings her creativity, knowledge, breadth, and nearly decade long experience of the industry to the Crews Control team. With a Bachelor’s degree in English/Writing and Communications, and a Master’s Degree in Film and Video, as well as professional and independent experience in producing, nothing seems to surprise her, not even the craziest of requests. On top of that, she’s an award-winning writer, director, and producer of narrative films and is always looking forward to her next trip to the festival circuit. When not thinking or dreaming of filmmaking, she enjoys game nights with her friends/family, dancing like no one’s watching, trips to the beach, pina coladas, and not getting caught in the rain.
Kim Moseman
Digital and Marketing Content Manager
Kim is Crews Control’s social media butterfly….she writes, she captures, she tweets, she blogs, she posts, and she gets lots of love from our Crews Control followers, fans, viewers and visitors. A proud Seagull of Salisbury University where she studied Communication Arts (with a focus in Journalism and Public Relations) Kim brings her high energy and smooth yoga moves to the Crews Control family. In her free time she can be found running- even though she hates it- spending time with her family and dog, and road-tripping around the country with her friends.
Monica Lovend
Finance Administrator
Monica Lovend is our Finance Administrator and she is the accounting ninja responsible for processing shoot invoices, collection of our Accounts Receivable and for the Accounts Payable to the wonderful crews we use for your shoots. She enjoys treating us here in the office with her creative paper crafting and baking skills for monthly holidays, our office “fun” days or just because. In addition to that, she enjoys reading, quilting and traveling especially on a cruise ship with her husband. She is also the mother of 2 daughters who in the near future will make Monica and Marc empty-nesters.
Allison Meyd
Operations & Marketing Coordinator
Allison is our Operations & Marketing Coordinator. A proud Towson graduate, she has dual degrees in Communications and Art and Design.

A graduate of The University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Film Studies, Olivia loves dissecting films and especially enjoys watching horror films and thrillers. When she’s not at work, you can find her out on the slopes skiing, drawing in her sketchbook, or playing with her new puppy, Mando. She’s a crossword puzzle wizard and consistently does the mini in under 30 seconds, so let her know if you need a hint!

As one of our Assistant Production Managers, Caroline brings her creativity and filmmaking experience to the Crews Control team. Caroline enjoys every step of the production process and has worked on multiple short films, documentaries, and television.

When she is not behind the camera or assisting our Production Team, Caroline loves editing, photography, watching (and writing) cult films and reality television.
