Thin Blue Line: Super 8 Film

Super 8 Film

Bio/background: I learned the art of film making at Boston’s Emerson College back in the early 90s. Making my first super 8 film was pure magic… setting up the shots, cutting and splicing, picking out the soundtrack… I LOVED everything about it! After 7 years working in Hollywood jobs that never suited me, I decided to go back to school for graphic design. And after running my own design studio in New York City for several years, I was ready to reinvent myself again. Inspired to take out my old super 8 camera, I filmed my dear friend’s wedding as a gift. The couple was thrilled with the finished product and I knew I was onto something. So in an effort to wed my skills and passion into one business, I started Hello Super 8 in 2007. I absolutely love what I do and the job fits me perfectly… from my film making background, to my identity and branding design knowledge, to being a true “people person”… it all just makes sense. About Hello Super 8: After much thought and debate, I decided to keep my company a niche business and focus on FILM only. Though I love what DSLR’s can do, I’m a film purist at heart. I made it a point to brand my company to like-minded people who appreciate the qualities of real film. It’s not always an easy sell (the price! the short length! no audio!) but I absolutely adore the clients that go for it. I have managed to attract couples with a fun with a quirky side, a fondness for good design and lovers of great music… just my kind of people. Inspiration: I’m first and foremost inspired by women entrepreneurs. I come from a long line of women who built their own businesses
