As the only talent coordinator, I personally was in charge of our lead talent's schedule and needs. Coordinating her real life business with our filming. I was also in charge of the entire staff's wardrobe continuity. Plus booking all of the travel for our out-of-town talent, flights and hotels.

Again working with a very limited budget, $1700, all talent and crew donated their time and efforts. Being asked back again by the artist for a second video was very rewarding. It not only showed me that they appreciated the work I did, but that they also valued working with me.

Every competition day I would rehearse with each contestant privately, giving them notes and feedback on their performance and technique. This was done off-camera, to give the contestants a focused, efficient space to prepare.

Working on a very limited budget, $3,000, I formed an incredibly talented crew- all donating their time and talents for this labor of love. Only the director and editor were paid. A big portion of this video we used projection-mapping and we filmed at the historic Mac Sennett Studios.

Outreach to dance studios and dance competitions all around the country, finding not only talented dancers- but also with moms or dads that have dynamic and unique personalities. Due to my dance background, I also evaluated each submission that came in, grading the dancer's technique and performance.

I kept the shoot on schedule all day, also wrangling/ setting the talent and helping art dept. with the sets.

New Years Eve event including 4 live dance performances, 2 live singing performances, 2 DJ sets, and 2 art installations. Mediums used: dance, original live music, video projections

Working with a budget of $30,000, we were commissioned to create a live performance. Everything was original-costumes, makeup, choreography, and visual effects. This project used projection-mapping and was shown in both Los Angeles and New York.

Live multi-media show including dancers, singers, original choreography, original music and video projections. We took a completely empty warehouse space and created a theatre, selling out every show to about 150 seats.

Coordinator for this project was very challenging. Power Up is a 501 (c) 3 organization, so we had a lot of the equipment donated, with a full tax wright-off. We were often at the mercy of equipment's availability. Not to mention at the mercy of companies generosity.

Stocking and making the shelves look beautiful, dispaying the products. I also helped with building and tearing down sets.

We shot this video on location, with no budget. We pooled all resources, forming an incredibly talented crew of artists.

Building and tearing down set. Also arranging products on the shelves for background plus setting the products for the hero shots.

This was shot at the Media Pro Studios in Romania. It is a Romanian feature spoken in Romanian. I slated the entire film, which was often a challenge because I don't speak Romanian. I loved this position because I was there for every single shot.

This was Zal Batmanglij's graduate film at AFI, staring Brit Marling. As the producer's assistant, I was a part of pre-production, production, and post-production working side-by-side with Alma Sarbu, the producer. This was my first project working production.
