When she's not directing, she's working full-time as a first AD across features, commercials, music videos, you name it. And she is a proud anti-gatekeeper.  But the thing I really wanted to bring her on to talk about is what she built from scratch out of pure necessity: the LA Director's Lab. In 2021, she had an idea for a space where directors could simply practice their craft. She started small: six directors, eight actors, a friend's bar, iPhones, zero professional gear. That was all she needed. Today, LADL has grown into full two-day workshops with DPs, professional crews, screening days \u2014 and most recently, she executive produced five horror short films in three and a half weeks with her community of artists. Tune in as we discuss mental health, doing the reps, and what makes an exceptional 1st AD.
