That’s a wrap on Love on The Hill!

Feeling lucky to have spent the last month working with such an incredible group of filmmakers.

Thanks to Jack @jackcnewell for trusting me with the project and for being such a thoughtful collaborator throughout the process. Thank you for inviting me into the creative process from the very beginning. I always felt like we were making the same movie, and that kind of collaboration is something I never take for granted. It was an absolute treat getting to make this movie with you.

And a huge thank you to Lori @storytrack for recommending me for the project. Your support and confidence in me means more than you know, and I’m incredibly thankful it led to being part of this wonderful film. Thanks so much for pushing to bring films to St. Louis!

Also huge shoutout to our vendors. This simply wouldn’t have been possible without them.

I’m leaving this one with a full heart. Thank you to every crew member who hauled gear in the heat, solved impossible problems, stayed positive through long days, and cared deeply about making something special. To our producers, director, cast, and every department that made this film possible. I’m grateful I got to make it with you. Love y’all💗

Yo! We won for Best Production/Cinematography at the Reed Awards for our visual, “Cori For All” which announced Cori Bush’s campaign launch last fall. I simply cannot express enough gratitude to this team, this city, and to the act of creation itself. Thank you @coribush and team for trusting us with your vision, @dillonstbernard and @chrystianwoods and for both the @interlockingpictures and @mfaimadethis crew for the beautiful collaborative effort on making this happen. Credits below! To my team, I appreciate and love you all so much. It’s the honor of my life to create with you, and I’m proud of y’all. BTS pics by @joafrae
