The Interview Q&A

Where are you primarily based out of?

Boston, MA

What role do you typically play on set?

Gaffer

How long have you been working in the film industry? Where did you get your start?

A little over a year now. I started out doing stills and once I started spending time on set, I realized what I loved about stills was light. Plus you get to play with the best gear in lighting (sorry camera)

Who is your biggest inspiration? What have they taught you?

Biggest inspirations comes from stills photographers (Alex Webb) and the mentors I've had on set (Ben, Jesse, Jack, Dave, Bert, Juice Pirates).

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

Every day! Light is one of the cheapest and most accessible forms of beauty and storytelling around. Every day I wake up to a sunrise or sunset and walk around just noticing how light hits and reflects on normal things. It's the coolest. It was just this week I spent an embarrassingly long time watching how the colors from a changing traffic light reflected on the street posts at night.

What’s are some of the biggest things you’ve accomplished in your career so far?

I'm really proud of just how much time I've put in on set. I take every chance I can to learn and it's really paid off.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? (No dream is too big!)

Gaffing some big movies! (Hopefully with friends)

If you had one piece of advice for a woman who wants to get started in the film industry what it would be?

Go fast and take chances. You're probably better than you think you are. Try everything and put yourself in places you are uncomfortable. I've never regretted learning a skill.
