Discover Dunwoody Honors Carly Schoepflin as July's Distinguished Production Associate
Discover Dunwoody proudly recognizes Carly Schoepflin as July’s Distinguished Production Associate. This program honors behind-the-scenes professionals whose work often goes unnoticed. Carly’s career showcases growth, adaptability, and dedication to the industry, and we’re excited to celebrate her this month.
From the Stage to the Set
Carly’s love for performance began early. At just 15 years old, she booked her first role in the pilot episode of “Homeland,” launching her into a promising career in front of the camera. Fueled by a deep love for theater and music, she pursued acting throughout her teenage years, appearing in a variety of projects while signed with a talent agency.
Her behind-the-scenes journey began in college at Kennesaw State University, where she enrolled in the Georgia Film Academy. An internship with a line producer on an indie film introduced her to the world of production, a pivotal experience that sparked a new passion. Carly quickly adapted to life off-screen, landing a role as a production assistant on the hit series “Ozark.” There, she got her first taste in coordinating travel for cast and crew, a role that would eventually become her professional focus.
Growing a Career Behind the Camera
Over the past few years, Carly has advanced through a variety of production roles, gaining valuable experience as an assistant production coordinator, production coordinator, and travel coordinator. Her consistent growth and hard work have earned her a strong reputation among crews and colleagues alike.
She has built a strong foundation in key production hubs including Atlanta, Savannah, Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey. Her recent credits include high-profile projects like HBO’s “Task,” Apple TV+’s “Dope Thief,” Netflix’s “Back in Action,” and her current work on Universal/Amblin’s “Cape Fear,” where she continues to demonstrate her skill in handling large-scale logistics.
A recent career milestone came when Carly was invited to join an international franchise film earlier this year. Although the opportunity didn’t move forward, being considered was a meaningful achievement that aligned with her long-term goals in travel coordination.
In addition to advancing her title, Carly has taken on leadership responsibilities by supervising her own team and overseeing multiple shooting units simultaneously. Her work has also taken her on the road, allowing her to combine her love of travel with her growing expertise in production.
As Dunwoody continues to grow as a destination for the film and entertainment industry, we are honored to celebrate professionals like Carly who help bring productions to life from behind the scenes. Congratulations, Carly, on this well-deserved recognition!
