Pitzer College Admissions 2025
As an editor and cinematographer, I’ve worked across a range of projects, handling everything from shooting to post-production. One of my favorite projects was a documentary-style short for Pitzer College in California, where I helped craft an authentic narrative that captured the culture and values of the campus. The piece was designed to support admissions by giving prospective students an honest, story-driven look at life at Pitzer, blending strong visuals with thoughtful pacing and character-focused storytelling.
This project taught me alot about responsibility across both production and post. I traveled with the team to Los Angeles and managed all camera equipment, shooting on a Blackmagic camera and ensuring proper handling and security throughout the production. Working with a minimal crew, I was responsible for setting up and operating lighting and sound, as well as handling daily media management—backing up, verifying, and organizing footage and audio. In post-production, I edited more than 53 hours of material into an eight-minute documentary, crafting structure and pacing in both Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and guiding the project through multiple rounds of client-driven revisions.
Happy Birthday Bitch (2024)
In college, I wrote and directed my first short film, Happy Birthday Bitch. Over the nine-month process—from pre-production through festival submissions—I gained a deep understanding of the filmmaking pipeline and what it takes to bring a story from the page to the screen. Seeing my writing come to life on the big screen for the first time was transformative. The project taught me how to collaborate with a team, delegate effectively to stay on schedule, and work closely with actors to shape authentic performances. I’m incredibly grateful to the dedicated team who supported this film—without them, it wouldn’t have been possible.
Happy BIrthday Bitch went on to showcase at Las Cruces Int. Filmfest in New Mexico last fall where it was selected out of thousands of student short films. It also went on to win an Best Student Film at the 2025 Sicilian Film Awards in Palermo, Italy.
