Joined UCM's Media Creators Association. In this club we produce short films, some of which I got to do many roles. These roles include assistant director, camera operator, script supervisor, and set production designer. The photo to the left is me on set of the short film Looking Glass directed by Josh Williams, set to release Fall 2023. I'm standing with the set I helped to create covered in a sticky concoction of my own making.
