GIVING BACK
Rough Cut
Teaching the ins and outs of the business by showing traditional and alternative approaches to media production
I am a dedicated mentor, who likes volunteering my time and contributing talent toward working with students and interns to demonstrate production methods, research and story development to increase their interest and passion for media production.
I instill in them the importance of having time and budget management skills. I show them how I work logistically and creatively to get the most out of the resources available to me in order to produce captivating visuals for my clients.
