2. Being mindful and respectful of people’s use of time and attention we will try to be responsive as needed, however we don’t guarantee responses to DMs or comments.

3. We accept business inquiries via email (link in bio) and respond on non-holidays, Monday-Friday to the best of our capacity.

4. We do not tolerate hateful or inflammatory messages, emails, nor do we engage in unsolicited demands.

Short documentary in the hopper.

One thing we love about being an is that we not only pick & choose to work on the films that we align with, but we do so within our own boundaries and commitments.

As a woman/parent-led company, it's critical for work sustainability, that we deprioritize urgency & "busy-ness" and center family and rest.

We're live right now for Debaser Pique ✦ Fall Edition at: www.thisispique.com

I have many projects wrapping up this week and next, and in between that, it's my brother's wedding preparation. Testing the live stream show is just one part of the prep. So excited for his special day. To me, there's no better gift than to make sure his day is captured in every way, as well as shared with loved ones. 💜 [VIDEO ID: A psychedelic screen with a block at the bottom that reads: test stream!! music test.] Note: music is muted as Facebook will end up blocking it anyway.

Little website done up for @ermillacreations. E-commerce, schedule booking, product photography and copy editing. People ask what I use to design websites. I first taught myself on WordPress, and later on, my friend from business school - a web developer too, showed me Squarepace. 7 years later and I don't know how many sites in, I'm still on it. While I can work with WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Square, Godaddy builder (not recommended) and Adobe Dreamweaver, my main for those who want a site they can maintain themselves and be mobile friendly is Squarepace. Some people hate it, some people love it. I'm the latter.

I am a firm believer in giving credit where it's due. It's important for me to share where my knowledge comes from. In my last post I gave gratitude to one of my mentors in filmmaking Rick. @rick.robinsondp I wanted to #throwback this because the footage is from when I worked at Bigfoot with him in Cebu. This video is a cut up version that's composed of the intro to a series the studio was developing. Back before #Masterclass was even a thing!! Before I left, I remember him asking me, "have you ever considered working on commercials, promotional videos, that area of the industry?" Look at me now.... So much gratitude to you Rick! P.S. Do YOU know the five C's of Cinematography? . Second cut & captions: @kilammedia
