Filmmaking and video production are an endless learning curve, and I’m personally motivated by how much I still have to learn, and always will. But the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic have turned the volume up on every stage of the process. For development to post-production, but especially the production phase, everything has gotten more complicated. However, with the right precautions and safety protocols in place, I’ve been able to continue working in the field and on sets throughout the pandemic, operating cameras, directing, assisting and more. I have yet to travel beyond Oregon since March of 2020, but that has provided the overdue opportunity to sink my roots a little deeper here in the Portland production and advertising world, and the rest of the incredible communities in Oregon and southern Washington.
