Digital Communications Portfolio

I love utilizing my creative skillset when it can make an impact. I particularly enjoy the challenge of meeting the marketing goals of non-profits, grassroots organizations, small businesses and artists, not only to help build their brands from the ground up, but do so within budget. I strive to help them future-proof through strategic and long-term campaigns, meaningful storytelling and repurposing content that can be used for e-commerce, grants and fundraising.

What am I up to these days?I learned about a Now Page because of Derek Sivers. It lets you catch up on the bigger picture things of my life, but sometimes I also share the in-between on Instagram: @iammailyne

Updated: January 29, 2026

I realized when I was coming off of three weeks of vacation that I was burnt out. So this year has been gentler. I'm still working hard, but I'm tired and I have no idea how I managed to do everything I was doing before. In any case, here's what I'm up to.

  • Charlene, the short film, is now a proof of concept for a longer film. It's done being color graded and is being scored.

  • Beyond the Pause, a documentary and YouTube channel will have it's first interview go live this February.

  • I'm editing videos for the LA county about the fires that devastated LA in 2025.

  • I'm working on a grant to help fund the pre-production for my feature film, Those Days of Summer.
