Why did you pursue the MA Media Producing?

I had a hankering for producing films. I had produced theatre and wanted to learn and understand film producing effectively.  

Please tell us about your real-world application of the learnings and skills you developed in the MA Media Producing program?

I wrote and produced my first short film through the program.

What are you working on now/what's coming up for you?

I'm planning a documentary on a teenager who is in remission of Hodkin's Lymphoma; adapting the script of my short film Death By Chocolate into a feature or episodic; and creating a crossword puzzle book of select Broadway Musicals of the 1970s.
