This documentary in the "Speaking Frankly" series explores whether the Electoral College helps or hurts American democracy. Thrillist's Best Chef of 2018, Reem Assil, isn't just the owner and chef of two amazing Bay Area restaurants (Reem's and Dyafa). She's also a major activist and advocate for workers' rights. I was contracted to interview and film this spot for Thrillist. The Blum Center commissioned me to edit their About US video to increase engagement about its global development and innovations programs. Using a mix of interview footage, b-roll from campus, news clips, and user-generated timelapses I completed the edit in two days. Sisters Carmelina and Flora Ramos Garcia, both in their late 50s, have been growing some of the world's best coffee in the scenic Western Highlands of Guatemala for over 30 years. But they’ve done so against mounting odds – first as single mothers and breadwinners, and now in the face of mounting impacts from climate change and the out-migration of their children.
