Bethesda Mission

Last week, I recorded and edited some videos for Bethesda Mission.  This was one of the blessings of being an intern: The mission needed someone to do these videos in preparation for their Do a 180 weekend, but they had no budget for it.  Since I'm an intern, my boss at the production company was able to send me to do it.  And what a good experience it was for me!

"AAA" spots - Production Manager

On my second and third days of my internship at Rutan Productions in New Cumberland, I acted as production manager/production assistant for a shoot for AAA Central PA, interacting with the clients, keeping track of the schedule, and even running sound when needed.

What I'm Doing Now

I've been living the stressful and exciting life of a freelancer!  It's strange to go from being very busy to not busy at all, but I love how unpredictable the projects can be.  Here's a little bit of what I've been up to lately:

- Preparing "Waiting Room" for exhibition.  I'm not allowed to announce it yet, but the premiere will be in late April, and a trailer will be out within two weeks.  Post-production has been going really smoothly and it's been quite a journey!  The official poster has just been released, so be sure to check it out in the facebook page and "like" it!  facebook.com/waitingroomshortfilm

- I got to do makeup on a shoot produced by Sarah Hawkins for Kno Clothing, a company that aims to eradicate homelessness.  I worked with three models and did makeup on Sarah for a short film by Lancaster-based filmmaker Rick Hansberry called "Smile."  The company CEOs were present, and it was a blessing to work with people with such beautiful hearts.

- Co-writing "New Hope" with Naomi King, a feature-length film that has already been picked up by Group 13 Productions.  The film is about a girl who finds out she's adopted right after her high school graduation and sets off on a journey to find them - and the only information she has about them is that they were modern-day hippies!

- Participating in Script Frenzy, an international challenge to write 100 pages of material in the 30 days in April.  The first short film script I'm working on is for a TV show series called "The Indie Flicks," which already has a director and crew in place.

- I'm still selling Mary Kay cosmetics.  I mostly work with young actors and models and give them specific information that only a makeup artist would be able to share with them for their careers.

- Editing some dance videos.  The last video I edited was for a girl auditioning for the Radio City Rockettes.  (I hope she gets it!)  I LOVE editing dance videos.


A huge thanks to everyone who has supported me these last few months!

ConnectCare3 Commercial

In January, I had the opportunity to do makeup on a commercial for ConnectCare3 (a nurse navigator service) directed by Lancaster-based filmmaker Mary Haverstick and produced by Michele Mercure. These actresses were lovely and I hope to be able to work with this production company again in the future!  Working with people who love what they do is what makes me want to keep pursuing a career in this industry.
