Took in some culture and got to reconnect with fellow Blackmagic Collective producing alums Aline and Cheyann. Indie Shakes put on a phenomenal performance of Doctor Faustus, and they only have a few shows left for the summer so check it out if you can!

I’m an independent film producer.

I have my own production company.

My brand is undeniably human stories in remarkable worlds.

I support women and underrepresented groups in the stories I tell, in the filmmakers whose voices I uplift, in my casts, and in my crews.

I’ve produced over 100
