Quick turn arounds, multi tasking and communication are my strong points outside of my work, and help make me a great freelancer to work with!

This film was made in a fast pased 8 months as my final senior thesis film at the Kansas City Art Institute. It is a music video style narrative short film about a young aspiring actor who takes a low pay job as a mascot. On the job she encounters an influential producer but before taking the step she faints and drowns in the pool, where she is taken to a theatrical purgatory.
