Project Details

Currently in post-production and expected to be finalized in July 2025, Passengers is an exploration of religious and ethical dilemmas approached with emotional depth and maturity. As Picture Editor, I collaborate closely with the Director, Post Supervisor, Sound Designer, Composer, and Colorist to shape a cohesive and impactful final film that explores religious and ethical dilemmas.

In addition, I served as 2nd Assistant Director, helping ensure a smooth and efficient production. I prioritized strong relationships across cast and crew, maintained clear communication with department heads, and supported a multidisciplinary team of over thirty people. My responsibilities included producing call sheets, coordinating crafty and catering logistics, and developing a comprehensive carpool and transportation plan to guarantee reliable access to set for all team members.

The production presented several logistical challenges, including working with two child actors, managing an ensemble cast, and operating two camera units. I applied creative problem-solving to navigate strict SAG child labor guidelines and address the technical demands of a dual-camera setup. Overall, my contributions across both post-production and on-set leadership helped guide Passengers from production through post with clarity, collaboration, and intention.
