Dream Date was a dream job! I could not ask for more than producing a dating show doubling as a commercial with the extremely talented Director Danielle Calodney and all star host Hannah Berner (of Netflix special fame). We laughed, we cried, we made matches, we drank energy drinks, with an exceptional Minneapolis crew and beautiful set. Look for it on a small screen near you!
I produced the food table top shoot for this spot with legendary director Irv Blitz! It was creamy, crispy, and most of all crunchy.
Filming in an open grocery store (my favorite, Wheatsville Co-Op!) was a blast, especially with the addition of Love is Blind's Chelsea Blackwell and hilarious Texas Theresa Rowley playing the disembodied voice of the "Perfect Impostor".

This was a rewarding and different production experience I’m incredibly grateful for. I truly believe in Meow Wolf bringing art to unexpected and accessible places, and loved working with their exceptionally kind and passionate team.
My dream team was: Photographer (and frequent collaborator) Abigail Enright (her photo above!), Directors Grace Potter and Joey Hunt (also DP), Production Designers Paola Cortes and Rodney Becker, Wardrobe Stylist Jai Midgette, Makeup Artist Amore Monet and Hair Stylist Elijah Royal Smith, and the Production Managers I can’t live without: Jennifer Hutchins and Kathryn Van Buren.

It was a wonderful experience working on a refreshingly female forward show.

Summer 2017 I worked with CDOT for the second time, educating on safe driving habits via Futuristic Films and agency partner Amelie Company. In the environment of a minor league baseball game, I cast interview subjects on site who would try a personal breathalyzer.
One of my proudest moments as a Producer and with Director Anthony Garth for Citizen Pictures. The creative stars at Amelie had an idea for how to educate a key demographic on the dangers of driving after just a few beers. I coordinated a faux brewery tour with local breweries and created a fake tour company (complete with bus) to run it - branded "A Few Brews" by Amelie and CDOT. Watch to see what the tour participants learned - once we revealed what we were really up to.
