The Collaborative Lens
Mentorship and training for emerging videographers who want to film with care, clarity, and confidence.
Why Work with Me?
You can learn how to edit or shoot video anywhere, but learning with me means we’ll center your growth as a whole creative person, not just a technician.
I bring years of experience filming dance, performance, and community-based work with deep attention to movement, story, and care. I’ve taught at the university level, worked across artistic, corporate, and educational settings, and mentored artists at all stages.
But more than anything? I meet you where you are with curiosity, clarity, and zero intimidation. This is a space for questions, experiments, small wins, and real talk. You don’t need to know everything. You just need to show up willing to grow.
Who It’s For
You’re a creative who loves filming but you’re tired of Googling your way through it. You want guidance that’s artistic, real, and relationship-based.
Whether you’re just starting out or leveling up, these sessions are for anyone who wants to feel more confident with gear, storytelling, and the client/collaboration process—especially when filming dance, movement, or live performance.
Why It Matters
There are a million tutorials online, but few guides who understand the nuance of filming live art, movement, and community-centered work.
This is mentorship with heart. And we build it together.
What to Expect in Mentorship
Each mentorship session is shaped around your goals, questions, and current projects. Here's what the flow often looks like:
-
Check-in + Focus Setting (5–10 min)
We start by seeing where you are—what’s lighting you up or where you're stuck. You’ll name what you want to focus on that day.
-
Skill-Building or Feedback (35–45 min)
We dive into a topic, technique, or project—whether that’s camera settings, editing flow, storyboarding, or client communication. This part might be hands-on, screen-shared, or concept-based.
-
Wrap-Up + Actionable Steps (5–10 min)
We end with reflections and next steps you can try before we meet again (if you choose a bundle). You’ll leave with clear takeaways, not overwhelm.
