filmmaking
I love working on films. I use my creative skills to help with costume design, set design, writing, shooting (video/still), directing, and craft services too! Mainly my husband, the Actor/Writer/Director, comes up with a topic he wants to explore and off we go. See selected films that I have had a hand in below.

Katie’s Dog
The film premiered at Peak International Film Festival, with award, and screened at Carrboro Film Festival in November 2018.
My role with this award-winning short film was as executive producer. I also contributed to the original story, set design, production design, costumes, budget, art direction and still photography.
As producer and art director I created the branding, posters and film festival materials. I assisted with production and editing for the film’s trailer.
The story is fiction and although not reflective of a true story known to us, a small part of the screenplay was loosely based on a real life experience of mine. With some script dialogue accurately written, it was an emotional and humbling moment when we were on set and I saw it playing out, not inside my head but out in the open, with real characters and a camera rolling.
Cast: Larry Evans, Susannah Hough, Jonathan King, Rachel McKay, Rianna Mallard, Rin.
