two weeks ago, we wrapped on milly. it's hard to put into words exactly what milly means to me. It's a culmination of my work in filmmaking, my excuse to make a period film, and a love letter to the unspoken pain of women. im eternally grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way and to my crew for not just believing in my vision but for the dedication and passion they brought to the project. I truly cannot wait to show everyone what future corpse created this time around 🤍

I'm still processing the fact that I won't have classes anymore. GV Film has been my life for four years now, and I'm so grateful for the friendships, films, and memories I've made here. Time to see what a film degree can really do 🤍📽
I had the incredible honor of speaking on filmmaking and perspective this past friday for @creativemorningsgr . I'm always amazed by the creativity and passion that flow through Grand Rapids, and I'm forever grateful to have a small part in the arts here.
I highly encourage everyone to check out my fellow panelists @chapel0fghouls@breana.malloy@madethnicfilm@avesfilmsand and our wonderful moderator @aaron_mccall ,each person is keeping the arts alive and thriving here in GR.
