05 Jul PoptentMedia Spec: Assemble Your Teams
There are only two words to describe this commercial spec for Poptent Media. Pure Awesomeness… The idea for “Assemble Your Teams” came literally 7 days before the commercial spec due date. Christine Chen, Michelle Faraone, and Matt McCallum were sitting leisurely in Matt’s West Hollywood apartment when suddenly Matt said… “I have a great idea, but…” Three hours later and a lot of “We are crazy to do this in 7 days,” the team had already secured a group of talented cast members and were busy converting the interior of Matt’s apartment into 3 different film locations. RANDOM FACT: 3 …
04 Jul Vlog #15: Crazy 2 Weeks in LA
It has been a blast. Being surrounded by creative people is probably one of the best things that has happened to me. Every day I wake up with a drive to make more content, to continue to improve, and to do what I love to do with other people who appreciate it as well. Being obsessed with what you love has it downsides though. I definitely have not explored California as much as I should. I find myself spending copious amounts of time at my friend’s house, editing or filming. Last week though, I was able to go to…

14 Jun Vlog #13: Prepping for Cameron Crowe
It has been a magnificent week. So magnificent that I have not had any time to update my blog. My list of random jobs has increased once again, as I am now an editor for an educational video series, a line producer for “A Guy Walks into a Bar Season 2”. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to meet Cameron Crowe, the director of “Almost Famous”, personally, as well as sit in on his interview with my supervisor. I have more footage to come, more pictures from projects that I am involved with. I definitely fit in here and I…
06 Jun Vlog #12: FOX FOX FOX
Today is my first day at Fox. I am so glad that I did this. My parents may never be happy for me, but I know I deserve the chance to try and go for what I love to do. Mom and dad, I love you, but this is for me and NO ONE can take it away from me.
