Creative filmmaker, passionate about storytelling and technique

Erinn R.

I come from 14 years of experience in film/video production, with focus as an editor for television and film. My credits span nearly a dozen unscripted television series and documentaries for HBO, TLC, Travel Channel, Food Network, Oxygen, PBS, Ovation, MTV.

Through my career I have tutored Avid editors who wished to learn other softwares such as Final Cut Pro and Premier. Currently, I run a production company with my husband where we produce PSA's and commercial productions. Our company has made an award winning feature-documentary that is just wrapped a 3 year festival run.

Outside of my professional life, I have a toddler (I'm in love with being a parent) and am developing a documentary around the meaning of existence through the developmental steps we all propelled ourselves through. I have 14 years of professional experience as an editor, producer and filmmaker

In the early days of my career I would tutor professional Avid editors who wished to learn Final Cut Pro. Today Final Cut is less predominant, as now the industry more commonly uses Premiere.

But all software and even camera equipment aside, we are living in times where the best technology is already in the palm of our hand, Execution only takes commitment to do what you dream - but in every execution there is a myriad of ways that an idea sparks intellectual and emotional connection for an audience.

My philosophy to teaching storytelling is a volley between technical lessons and theoretical exploration via exercises with the technology. Also, it's vital to be exposing yourself to art, books, media content, music, real life(!), etc in order to grow how ideas are shaped and discovered, so expect a nice spectrum of other influences to color your ideas.
