DreamWorks Artist Management Intern
Co-Director of @showstopperfilm
welcome to my little art stash

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

They say to shoot for the moon, so I’m super excited to announce that I’m headed to DreamWorks in the fall for the Artist Management Internship! ✨ I grew up watching so many DreamWorks movies, and was always left in awe. So I’m beyond grateful to be in a position to support the incredible teams that made the stories that inspired me to pursue animation in the first place.
•
A big big thank you to Caitlin, Robin, Drew, Natalie, and Danelle for this unbelievable opportunity! And an extra hug for Andrea who guided me throughout this crazy journey and all my other lovely friends and family who’ve helped me get here! And a thanks in advance to all the wonderful people I’m going to meet!

huge fan of the visuals in this movie, here’s my version of one of my favorite (and really red) shots from the A24 film Good Time (2017). 10/10 recommend.
