✨ Project Highlights
-
Working with my partner. My fiancé, Andrew, wrote this film back in 2021. Historically, I've edited everything that he's written, starting with our first short film back in college. It's my favorite thing to do!
-
Being on set in Seattle. The film was shot over three days outside of Seattle, WA. I met so many awesome filmmakers and creatives out there. Plus, we were so lucky to have the cutest on-set pup, Orla, keep us company.
-
Editing with Lukas. This was my first narrative editing project in a while and I had the best time collaborating with the director, Lukas Hassel. We had 3 marathon editing sessions together in person (a rarity for me these days) and it gave us a lot of space to experiment and take some bold swings!
-
Attending the Premiere. The film premiered opening night at HollyShorts Film Festival at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. It was great to see it on the big screen and share the experience with friends.
