He subsequently contributed to several high-profile feature films and series in uncredited production assistant capacities. In 2013, he served on Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street in an uncredited production assistant role.

His final early-career credit in this capacity came in 2014 as a production assistant on The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
