This November I am thrilled to announce that I will be headed to the POSH Retreat not only as a LensProToGo ‘face’ but also an aide during workshops and supporter of women in filmmaking! I’ll be bringing tons of gear for the attendees to use during the workshops and will, most of all, be there to answer any questions and make sure that attendees leave feeling confident with the gear they’ve used!
