Columbia University Creative Producing Admissions

As the Creative Producing Admissions Assistant for the 23-24’ school year, it’s been an honor to connect with prospective students interested in applying to the MFA program. It’s given me a chance to reflect on my time in the program, connect with other aspiring producers, and to support the program that’s taught me so much and propelled my career forward as a producer.

Check out the 2023 Creative Producing Q&A session where you can hear prospective students ask questions about the program and receive answers from myself and the program’s faculty.

Video Art & Experimental Film Festival

  • Programming & Partnership

    This year I returned to the Video Art & Experimental Film Festival (VAEFF) as their Senior Coordinator of Programming and Partnership.

    I’ve been working with the avant-garde film festival since 2020 as a curator then grew with the team as artist coordinator and co-moderator. For the 2023 program I was happy to spearhead the festival’s first media partnership with Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio.

    Here I was able to work in collaboration with Sam Bassett, Head of Film + Christina Donoghue, Art & Culture Editor to curate SHOWStudio’s Special Feature Program for the 23’ festival and hand-picked VAEFF artists for spotlight interviews on the iconic platform.
