Week Seven

My last week in San Francisco went by rapidly. For the first three days of the week the Charming Stranger team was on the set of Cameo’s short film, Nice. The set was incredible as the production location, The Producer’s Loft, had so many different spaces and props to be used. I was so happy to be able to contribute to the project as Elisha and I were awarded with the job of production assistants. I learned so much about how to handle the equipment used on set and how to real

Week Seven

My last week in San Francisco flew by in the blink of an eye. With so much to do, it was a race against time to finish up everything I still had to do for my short film along with other projects. The first half of the week was spent at the Producer's Loft, which is an amazing space that can be transformed into many different sets, in order to film Cameo's short, Nice. Being on set for this production was so cool! Cameo took great effort to have the majority of the crew be

Week Six

After six weeks of long days and careful planning, the day had finally come, Coven Film Festival. The week was super busy as the whole team was working tirelessly and all our focus was on getting the last details of Coven together. Friday was a full day of setting up and getting ready for all the incredible filmmakers and guests to arrive. We made swag bags, badges, and hung up posters for the event. As night approached, we got ready for the networking party at Hotel Kabuk

Week Six

In week six, I continued with the post production work of my film. Julie and I proceeded making editing tweaks, inching us towards the final cut. Julie was so efficient with the editing process and considerate of all of my thoughts and wishes that I communicated. I could not be more thankful that she is apart of this project. Week six also had the whole scooby gang come together to solve the last mysteries of Coven Film Festival’s planning and logistics. Even if at times it f

Week Five

In week five, I saw Werner Herzog’s face more than anyone else’s. I say this meaning week five was largely about my Master Class. As I watched Herzog in the medium of video lessons and completing the attached assignment for each, I felt so grateful for being able to take this online course. Herzog is nothing less than an expert on the strategies, requirements and creative process of filmmaking as he has experienced great wonders, luck, success and tragedies himself throughout

Week Five

Week five has been absolutely flying by (as most weeks here do), which is bittersweet and slightly stressful as I think about all I have left to accomplish. This week, I spent a lot of time focusing on my Masterclass taught by Martin Scorsese, it has been wonderfully educational as most of the lessons match up with the timeline of my film. During the post production part of making my film, the lessons on color, sound effects, and music have been especially helpful. Along w
