KAPPY PRODUCTIONS / PORTFOLIO
Film student. Producer.
Someone who likes making things happen.

01 / SELECTED WORK
SHORT FILM · ACTOR & PRODUCER
Working on both sides of the camera gave me a better sense of how much producing affects the finished film. I helped turn an idea into something our team could shoot, while learning to communicate clearly and solve problems as they came up.
THEATRE · PRODUCING & MARKETING
A murder mystery set inside a dream. I produced and marketed the project, getting experience with a live production and figuring out how to communicate its tone to an audience.
It gave me another way to think about storytelling: what happens onstage matters, but so does everything that gets people into the room.
BUENOS AIRES · JUNE–AUGUST 2026
Graphic Design Intern
I spent the summer working with creative colleagues at Ogilvy in Buenos Aires. I used Photoshop for internal visual projects and Premiere Pro for video editing, graphics, fonts, and overlays.
Working in a Spanish-speaking office pushed me to adapt, ask better questions, and find ways to communicate across a language barrier.
02 / ABOUT ME
Producing is where my creative interests and practical instincts meet. I like developing an idea, getting people together, and working through what needs to happen to make it real.
I’m especially interested in character-driven films. Jeff Nichols and Christopher Nolan are two filmmakers I keep coming back to, for different reasons: the honesty of the characters, and the ambition of the filmmaking.
