Edgewood, Ohio (2019)
A three-episode series about change and perseverance in a small Ohio town; a Tufts University student production
My roles: director, assistant camera, sound recordist, editor
This is a film project I worked on through an Indie Filmmaking and Post-Production class through the Tufts University Film & Media Studies program during my sophomore year.
I got to work with dozens of cast and crew mates over the course of several weekends, and I learned a lot about the collaborative filmmaking process. For each of the three episodes, students explored a different role on set. I especially enjoyed directing, which allowed me to practice my management skills, creativity, and confidence.

Reflections
This course and project opened my eyes to the sheer magnitude of how much goes into an indie film production. Never before had I participated in such a coordinated casting process, worked with over a dozen people on a set, or had my hands on so much equipment (including an ARRI Alexa camera)!
Filming almost every weekend this semester was a really challenging and rewarding experience. I love getting deep in the creative process, and being on set is one of the few environments that makes me forget about time. I learned a lot from my teachers and classmates about sound, lighting, and all the roles that go into making a film production come to life.
