  • “I’ve never been in a professional setting where I felt immediately included and trusted."

    “You created such a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Your team encourages asking questions and open communication in such a fun / positive way. I really appreciate your commitment to helping people below you learn the ropes and focusing on training and teaching instead of perfection. Not everyone treats their younger co-workers the way you do - and it makes such a difference. The teamwork elements you emphasize, made me want to work that much harder and care so much more about making shoots run as smoothly as possible.”

    — Emily Everhard, Writer/Director

  • “She stays calm under pressure, approaching challenges with both creativity and logic to keep any given production on track and within budget."

    "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Audra on several projects, where she served as Supervising/Line Producer. She stays calm under pressure, approaching challenges with both creativity and logic to keep any given production on track and within budget. As a manager, she ensures her team has the support and resources needed to succeed. She’s also meticulous in developing budgets for clients, guiding them step-by-step to ensure every need for a potential project is covered. My only complaint is that we haven’t had the chance to work together on a project recently!"
