Had a chance to direct & write a short film close to home—a DWIF film, where the ASL is written and then handed over to the actors. In addition to that this was one of my most valuable directing experiences, working with such talented actresses, Kalen Feeney, Amber Zion, Antoinette Abbamonte, in addition to a fantastic girl team (save for the makeup artist, Brian Barnett and the assistant director, Kevin Huie).
Producer Jen Losi, Cinematographer Eunsoo Cho, Gaffer Sherri Kauk, Gaffer Rachel Elias, Grip/1st A.C. Sophia Berman Fotiadis, Composer Carrie Glover, Sound Designer/Editor Amie Farquhar, Editor Jessica Continenza, Production Sound Gilda Garcia, Production Designer Katherine Hunt, Production Design Assistant Catherine MacKinnon, 2nd A.C. Carolina Espiro, Stunt Coordinator Abby Walla, and a wonderful Extras cast—Nick Zerlentes, Mary Beth Baierl, Ashley Griffith, Michael Fox, Arezo Moazezi, Awet Moges, and the list keeps going.
I couldn’t have been happier than this.
