"Karen was my producer on my first major short film [Dream Come True]. She was very attentive and collaborative during the entire process. Almost immediately after she accepted my offer, she was working with me to bring this film to life. There wasn't any problem that she didn't want to tackle or found too difficult. And we ran into plenty of problems as you do on any film shoot, but nothing phased her. And it was because of her organization, professionalism and her always-positive helpful attitude that helped keep my stress level down to run a smoother and fun film set.
Karen oversaw every step of pre-production, production and post-production. Our short film was accepted into three film festivals. Even if I'm working on a project that Karen isn't involved in, I still go to her for advice. It was a honor to make and celebrate this film with Karen next to me."

"I first met Karen on a student film project she was producing many years ago. I was stunned at the level of organization, communication and professionalism she brought to the set. More professionalism than I have seen on much larger productions. We have worked together many times in the years since and her abilities have grown. Our company was most fortunate to have her produce our short film most recently and it couldn't have gone any better or smoother. She brings huge value to every project. She is also exceptionally energetic, intelegent, kind and quick-witted. I choose to work with her any chance I get."
