I am in the process of developing some software for use on film sets to assist Data Wranglers. Consequently, I am putting out a call for people involved in Data Wrangling to become part of a closed Beta testing process. Operators interested in becoming part of the Beta programme should contact mark@greensideproductions.com.au with the following information:

1. Name and contact details
2. Summary of Film set experience and Data Wrangling experience
3. Description of what you believe “Data Wrangling” to be and why it is such an important role in the film production process.
