What About Educators?

This film is featured on my website as a snapshot in time and a defining moment in my career. Created for a class just as the pandemic hit, this project forced me to master the art of solo filmmaking under pressure. By documenting the intimate and day to day reality of 2020, I discovered that truth is the most compelling element of any edit. It is a grainy and honest look back at where my journey as a documentary storyteller truly began.

​

This film serves as my origin story and marks the transition from a student with a camera to a solo filmmaker finding beauty in a global lockdown. Though I now shoot in cinema grade 4K and am rarely in a room alone, that original fly on the wall philosophy remains the same.

​

The project still holds my approach to documentaries and the importance of giving those who may not always have a voice a place where they can share and be heard. My hope is that these stories help others relate to the issues the subjects are facing or bring light to a topic viewers might be unfamiliar with. It is a reminder that no matter the transition there is always a story worth capturing and I am ready to tell it.
