I started calling myself a “story mechanic” because my role kept changing, but my task remained roughly the same: someone has a story they need to tell, and I help them build it, fix it, or fine tune it.
Over the years I have directed, creative directed, acted, written, and edited. These days, I mostly write and edit.
