The First

When her teenage sister starts showing interest in a much older, dangerous man, Rowan asks herself “should I get involved or should I step aside?”

My maiden voyage as Producer on my college senior project has sparked the attention of film festivals worldwide. My team of talented ladies, who have lovingly claimed the title of the “Ladies of Film”, have been featured in numerous film festivals and won awards, including Best Short Film, Best Director, Best Acting and Best Drama. I put together this team of strong, independent, college ladies and the quality of our film has surprised even the most experienced filmmakers. We were dedicated in the pursuit of producing a festival quality film - one that would garner awards and help us achieve the goal of bringing the story of Rowan and Mia to the big screen.

I brought my 5 years of production assistant experience to the role of Producer. I led the team through budget meetings, purchasing and auditing, auditions in multiple locations during the pandemic both in person and remote, location scouting, department meetings, travel arrangements, scheduling, supporting roles in all departments, publicity and supporting the film at film festivals.

Our team continues to work on future projects and The First continues to be featured in a few additional film festivals in 2023, in the hopes of gaining momentum for larger goals in 2024.
