Personal statement

Happy People was the first feature film I ever worked on and produced. When Jacob Boatsman, the writer and director, asked if I wanted to produce the project, I did not realize what I had signed up for. But Jacob is a fantastic storyteller known for doing features, so I knew I wouldn't be alone in this process. Nonetheless, this film has taught me more than anything about what goes into a movie. Even though the film was an indie project and most of the crew were fellow SCAD students, it was a valuable learning experience and a challenging and fulfilling project to be a part of.
