The division of Arts & Science proudly presents our end of year Show at BSOA(City Hall).  Here you can find a collection of paint, drawing,sculpture, mix media, and film projects.  I am proud of my students who have displayed true production value in their projects including, PSA’s, Digital Stills, and Music Videos.  All projects have a narrative component which will surely cause you to think :) 

Spring 2016 went so quickly! I really enjoyed this bunch!

The Bermuda International film Festival is held every March.  In 2011, I submitted a documentary short to this festival for the first time, and it got accepted!  Looking back 5 years, its amazing to see how much I have grown not only as a film maker, but also as a person.

This year I was asked to sit on the educational committee for BIFF, and I couldn't have been more excited about it.  For weeks leading up to the festival I was in charge of planning an event, “Fresh Focus” which featured international and local film makers.  I was also “in charge” of a student film making crew who covered the entire festival. These students were really able to showcase their skills, and it was a great process to witness.

In addition to these duties, I was also able to showcase my BIFF Academy Promo, for a film workshop I taught at last October.  When the BIFF Directors asked if it would be ok to show these promos before every single film at the festival, I was humbled to say the least.

Also, the awesome producer (Christine Vachon) of Killer Films and the Oscar Award Winning film “Carol” held a great discussion all about producing/directing and everything in between. To hear her point of view was not only refreshing but also inspiring.

Every year BIFF continues to improve this event, and reach out to the wider Bermudian community.  I couldn't be more happier to be apart of this organization.

In November, I hosted 2 Lunch and Learns at Whitney Middle School.  I LOVED these kids.  So energetic and eager to learn something new.  

Thank you Librarian, Nikita Euler for organizing these events!

As The Bermuda International Film Festival approaches, I am preparing for some of the many educational events that will be taking place.  The educational committee is striving to create informative sessions for the Youth of Bermuda ( from P1 to young adult) to learn about the film industry and the excitement around it.  

In October, I was able to teach at the BIFF Academy mid term workshop.  I assisted the middle school students with their personal films which fell under the theme, “Bermuda is Speaking”.  

Stay tuned for more exciting news from BIFF

A little Throw back Thursday action! On Thursday, November 19th I was invited to have lunch with these amazing entrepreneurs for Global Entrepreneurship Week.  Thank you Bermuda Economic Development Corporation for inviting me. It was certainly a pleasure to not only film the key note speaker, but also listen to the other attendees who are setting the pace for women in entrepreneurship.  There are many women entrepreneurs in Bermuda, it was refreshing to see that many of us have so much in common.
