MONES - July 2025 🎬

I’m not religious, but I have been to church and every single time I cry for the duration of the singing part. ⛪️

I felt the exact same on the set of @mones_short when the cast (& crew) were chanting “TITTIES HURT!” in the backyard of a house in Mid-City while filming the culminating scene of this film. I couldn’t help but tear up.

Singing about God. Screaming about Titties. Same thing.

UNITY IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!! 💧

Makes me cry every time.

It was an absolute pleasure working with this loving & talented team. Catch MONES short film at it’s world premiere this coming week at @outfest

I do it for the love of the game - December 2025

A few months ago I made this backdrop for the most creative Director/DP duo I know & Ray took this sick ass photo of me in front of it.

Follow @directedbymom if you like to feel something when you see ART. They are some of my all time favorite 🧠 🧠 to watch and collaborate with.

Thank god for mom❤️‍🔥 taken in Los Angeles, California by @silkbat

Amy’s Dead-End Dreamhouse - March 2025 🎬

I loved reading these scripts.
I loved building this set.
I loved working with these people.

It’s not everyday you get to work on a job that makes you feel less crazy. Working on the set of Amy’s Dead-End Dreamhouse was exactly the experience you sign up to be in the film industry for.

This show makes light of the horrors of adulthood. It’s a playful take on the stressors of growing up after you’re already a grown up - a kids show for adults. This was a very important job to me & will always hold a warm place in my heart. 💙💚🧡

Plus I got to meet @sunderisaband 🤟🏻

Also, I love swiping back and forth between the set build irl and my model. It’s soooo cute 🥹

Yosemite - April 2022🏔️

Some of my favorite people & I took an impromptu trip to Yosemite sparked by a random campsite opening.

The only spare roll of film I brought with me was some dumb, fake light leak party film I had laying around. It was my first time visiting Yosemite & it was absolutely enchanting.

I was so bummed when I got my scans back - so silly to be in such a stunning place with the stupidest film stock ever. Not to mention my camera had a REAL light leak too! 😂

Now, I kinda love the stupid red flares. It reminds me of how quickly we jumped in the car completely unprepared to have an amazing adventure.

Mom & The PNW 🌅 August 2024

My mom was living in Olympia and picked me up in Seattle. She drove me around Washington state for two days showing me all the cool spots she’d discovered since living there.

We made a list of all the stories we’d tell if we were to make a TV series of our lives (Silkwood Series).

Turns out we share a lot of the same core memories & defining moments.

She was hellbent on taking me to Canada, so we took a ferry to Victoria and then back again 4 hours later - just to say we did it.

& that we did.

“LILLIAN” BY SUNDER - DIRECTED BY ME 😌

ABSOLUTELY LOVE @sunderisaband - great music comes from great people. Go listen to Sunder, watch the video we made together & know that it is all pure from the heart. ❤️‍🔥

“A song focused on recognizing when to let love go. Anchored by sparkling electronics, washed guitars, and vocals that float somewhere between breath and confession.” - Sunder

Here is my dreamy/ethereal visual interpretation of what that feels like. I hope the video FEELS like the song for you. 💓

Grateful to each person below for adding their special touch to this collaboration:

Just got some film rolls back and I’m especially jazzed about a couple of snaps from Sam’s visit to LA last month. It always makes you feel cool to see cool photos you took of your friends looking cool.

(Peep pic #2 😎)

Really though I’m so obsessed with the first photo & last few (for similar reasons) but I think I’m mostly just obsessed with Sam.

Our friendship is over 15 years old and I’m sitting here looking at these pictures feeling so grateful to know Sam the way that I do. Someone who’s seen all my eras and personal growth over the years is a value that only passing of time could show me.

Sam reminds me of who I’ve always been and who I’d like to be - I’m so lucky my circle continues to cross paths with his again & again. Some of my favorite times in life have been in the midst of those intersections.

& I’d like to do more of that.

Thanks for sticking around Sam Guccibitch, ILYSM lifelong friend. 🫶🏻 taken in The Circle Of Life by @silkbat

ART DIRECTOR & PRODUCTION DESIGN REEL 🚨

The highlights of my career summed up in less than 2 minutes. I hope you’ll give it a watch with the sound up HIGH! 🔊

I love this crazy, f*cked up, unstable world called, “The Film Industry”. 🎥

Art Department - we make the ordinary extraordinary and most people watching don’t even know we exist. Sleepless nights and labor intensive days. We pour our heart out into this work because we have a conviction to create - we love the outcome and hope that you do too! 🤘🏻

Just putting this out there - I’m manifesting that my career swings more towards projects influenced by music. 🗣️

HIRE ME FOR YOUR MUSIC VIDEOS! 🎵 📹 👩🏼‍🎨 ✨
(And movies and commercials and TV shows) 👀

Thank you to all the designers who fostered me in Art Department over the years. You all have given me so much to look up to and learn from. @terr_watson3 @phitrandesign @abigailchildsdesign @fantasticmrfox11 @liztoonkel @eyerenuh @steelyfilm @erineskila @mariannusser

Special shout out to my OG “Art Mom” and “Art Dad” who have been with me since the beginning. I will do pro bono work for you forever…

Mad props to the creators of this stunning, dynamic song with the perfect message for my reel. @slothrust 🎸

Much love to bestie and After Effects plug who made the sick squiggle waves for my end title card. @dumbcouch 🌀

Please see comments below for gushy love note to my career. 📝

TLDR: I’m proud to work in the film industry, we make the programming that inspires the world, I love you. 🌎 by @silkbat
