She has served as a Script Reader at Walden Media and Radical Media, and for other New York-based production companies. She was Executive Assistant to director Stanley Donen. Upon receipt of her master's degree in Film Directing, Main moved to Los Angeles where she currently works as a writer, director,[7] producer, line producer, and unit production manager.[8] Main established the film and media production company Tica Productions in 2007.[9][10]
