This is a microdocumentary of my best friend Leah rehousing one of her tarantulas, Daria. This was my first time filming a documentary, and I'm thrilled with what I was able to capture. It is about the dedication to, and the care and patience we have for the things we love. Even when every possible annoying obstacle gets in the way. It’s about being able to have fun and laugh in the face of challenges, especially when you’re able to share them with others. It’s about sharing an intimate experience of something you’re passionate about with those you’re close to. And, most definitely, it is about horrible critter closure locking mechanisms.

A short film by Hope Selah Tye that I was the production assistant for. This meant standing in the freezing cold for two days taking BTS pictures, interviews, and whatever else was needed of me. Despite the cold I was thrilled to get to work on a film with hired actors and a "proper" camera rig.

I did this interview with Capital University's Audio Engineering Society's staff at the time as a way to get to try my hand at shooting interviews as well as give them some promotional material. This was my first time getting my hands on more than one camera for a shoot, and I very much took advantage of that. I learned how to use multicam editors and was able to have shot switches between a wide and a close up. I felt very strongly about using some bloopers in the interview to show the personality of the staff and make them a bit less intimidating to the average new member.
