When I returned to the United States, I made a living as a paralegal and started a theatre company in San Francisco. We incorporated as a 501(c)(3), produced several plays and an annual shorts festival of plays and films accompanied by live, originally composed music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It wasn't until moving to New York City that I gravitated more to the study of film... I often joke I studied theatre in the U.S. city known for film (Los Angeles) and film in the city known for theatre (New York). I began producing films with friends, similar to the work I did in theatre. I took on many roles. I helped with production management. I did some cinematography. I worked as a grip. Whatever was necessary. During my MA at the CUNY Graduate Center, I wrote a thesis on female directors in film in the United States. I interviewed a ton of incredible people and wrote a thesis exploring the challenges and accomplishments of women directors in the United States Film Industry - <em>The 2nd Sex and the 7th Art<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">I went directly from obtaining my MA to matriculating at CCNY for an MFA in Film Production. Soon after, I started working as an Assistant Editor and Editor where I was able to use many of the skills that I acquired from producing theatre and in my capacity as a paralegal. I continue to engage in theatre with Undiscovered Works Theatre Company in New York City and working with friends on films while also working on larger studio projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-494-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-494-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-494-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Still Life<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-494-1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/vimeo\" src=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/275409000?loop=0&#038;_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/275409000?loop=0\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/275409000?loop=0<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-494-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-494-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Shorts of All Sorts Trailer<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-494-2\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/vimeo\" src=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/354441333?loop=0&#038;_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/354441333?loop=0\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/354441333?loop=0<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-494-1-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-494-1-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">&#8220;Underground&#8221; Music NYC<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-494-3\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/vimeo\" src=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/62317264?loop=0&#038;_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/62317264?loop=0\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/62317264?loop=0<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-494-1-3\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-494-1-3-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Kurtis<\/h3><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-494-4\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/vimeo\" src=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/170901342?loop=0&#038;_=4\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/170901342?loop=0\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/170901342?loop=0<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After graduating with a theatre degree from UCLA, I went to London where I studied Performance Theory at the Central School of Speech and Drama.
