Her Campus Media | #ImStillGraduating
I’m really proud of the work that we achieved (@thewithagency) this week - producing and editing a six-hour, female empowerment focused, virtual commencement for global graduates with a great lineup of performers and speakers. It makes me emotional to think of how the world has changed recently. I think this is a new beginning & a time of reflection for all of us. I can only imagine what graduates must feel right now. - For us social distance on the set, masks, and it is all so strange in so many ways. This is one of the moments I’ll always remember about my quarantine experience.
We will be.
As people we are compelled to be heard, to create, dance, express, thank, and come together. We’ll paint without a canvas, we’ll make a stage where there isn’t one, because there’s always an audience waiting. I’d seen these images online & in media, but dove in and found so many I couldn’t believe.
Wove this together, and am still overwhelmed with the beauty of the world & the people in it. Stay strong in these strange and difficult times, and let’s keep doing what we do.
(Thank you for assistant editing, lending your musical talent, & sound mixing @nicallynrogers [IG])
SCAD aTVfest: Alumni bring television to life
Job: EPK Cinematographer and Producer
For: Stranger Things on Netflix
Caleb likened EPK (electronic press kit) cinematography to his passion for documentary filmmaking. He explained that he works with publicity and is on set “to capture how everything is made from props to set dressing to direction.” Caleb performs interviews with different parts of the crew and gets footage of different scenes everyday. Ultimately, he designs a package that lets viewers “see how their favorite shows and movies are made.”
What do you credit SCAD with in launching your career?
“As an LGBTQ creator growing up in a community where that was not accepted, coming to SCAD was a place for me to be able to feel safe and to be able to become and develop into who I wanted to be. Being able to just be myself creatively and to pursue a career that I’m passionate about has been such a gift.”

Thrilled to see this Broadway spot for Cirque du Soleil’s The Illusionists I directed and produced. Great crew and thrilled to have supported such an entertaining Broadway experience.

Great experience on an unexpected shoot with only a few days of pre-production. Multicam commercial shoot for a live performance heading to Broadway with an incredible team, for The WITH/agency. Turns out airpods can replace walkies.

SCAD EMBRACE Conference 2019
Such a joy returning to my alma mater to speak with students about navigating early career experiences and building a strong foundation after graduation. We had meaningful conversations about personal growth, communication in the workplace, and creating thoughtful systems that support new employees. Grateful to have attended a university that prepares students for the real-world challenges and opportunities that come after college.
Atlanta Pride 2019
Incredible honor marching alongside IATSE 479 in Atlanta Pride this year. Honored not just to reflect on the past few years experiencing Atlanta, but to march with incredible creatives who proudly represent the film industry. A beautiful rainy day.
WITH/pride
Glad to have supported The WITH/agency in their work on this billboard for the iconic Fox Theatre, Atlanta Pride 2019.
The Fox Theatre by the WITH/agency
Thrilled to share the 'making of' film created by Johnny Kim and Glen Kwon (creators behind Stay Visualant) detailing the creation of a campaign and series of commercial spots for The Fox Theatre by the WITH/agency.
I've been working on this - producing and directing - over the past year, and more content will continue to roll out over the next six months. This project was ambitious, complex, and involved a crew of 50+ working tirelessly and being experts in their department (thinking about Joshua Wiley Sims, gaffer, and Whitney Hill Doyle, 1st AD, in particular).
Thank you to Jin Kim for lending your immense talent to this project - as DP and colorist. Over the past year it's been an honor to challenge each other and continue achieving the impossible.
Rose Freitag, it's been the thrill of my professional career working so closely with you. From writing scripts to starting every day with new challenges to overcome, I hope we work together for many years to come.
Thank you to The WITH/agency (including Blair Brady, Jamie Sims, Jon Voss, Jessica Erin Jackson., and everyone else on the team) for believing in this crew and supporting this production from pre-production through broadcast. The last year has been such a ride, and I look forward to many - even more ambitious - projects ahead.
