If there was a movie about your life, who would play you?
If there was a movie about my life, I would want Patti Harrison to play me because she is so energetic and expressive. I'm obsessed with her style of comedy and I feel like she would do justice to my life as a trans person.
What is your favorite piece of Media Factory technology, and why?
My favorite piece of Media Factory tech is definitely our green screen collection because I have tons of fun taking myself into different spaces using keying and compositing techniques. There are a lot of possibilities with just a green background!
What is the funniest thing that has happened to you recently?
The funniest thing to happen to me recently was when I had my recurring dream that I was being chased around my house by Chucky - you know, the doll from Child's Play - and there were no doors or windows for me to escape so I had to fight Chucky. It's funny how a bad dream about a fictional doll that has been possessed by a serial killer can shape your day.
Tell us something we might not know (a fact or piece of trivia that you know for no apparent reason).
One fun fact about me is that I am double jointed in my hands so I can pick things up with the backs of my hands. I try not to do this though because, in all honesty, it's kinda gross.
If you had to put your life bio into one run-on sentence, what would you say?
Once upon a time, I was raised in the middle of the woods in Maine, and I have the social skills to prove it, and I grew up fearing goats but I'm not so afraid anymore and I can speak French and I drove a 2003 Honda Accord from 2017 until it died in 2023 and I used to believe that my house was haunted but now I don't believe in ghosts, and I have an older sister who is my buddy, and I used to not be able to drink out of clear cups. The End!
