PROJECTS
Abroad Program at FAMU — While attending Wheaton College When I was a student at Wheaton, I was fortunate enough to study abroad at the internationally renowned film institution FAMU in the Czech Republic for a semester abroad. In this film-intensive program, we were given the tools to create our films and learn more about topics such as equipment, scouting talent, locations, and props. I worked on several of my classmate’s film productions as an Art Director and Script Supervisor. The roles I worked in on my short film were, scriptwriter, director, set designer, costume, makeup, and editor. We took courses in stop-motion animation, animation, cinematography, writing, acting, and film analysis. The film I created at FAMU is titled Ruth Takes a Bath and is available at this link:
