It’s really incredible finally getting this project off of the ground! There is soooo much left to do, but that’s what adrenaline is for! To keep you focused on the task at hand such as set design, lighting, blocking, table reads, costume, location scouting and casting. Did I forget to mention something? I’m sure I did!

Problems Untold Trailer
Here is a quick trailer for a short film shot in the Fall of 2015. Learned a lot about production, scheduling, story boarding and managing cast and crew. I look forward to working with everyone again for a project in the future.
