Who am I?

Hello! My name is Alyssa Sullivan. And here’s some facts about me!

  • I’m 27 years old

  • I'm from a little known place called Southern Maryland

  • I was a Correctional Officer for 2 years

Memories

This was the first project I worked on in month 2 of my Masters Program once I went back to college. I assisted the DP William Bagwell with framing shots along with being the video editor in the post-production process. I also assisted Josh Kendrick with the audio portion.

Self-Written Skit

For month 3 of my Masters Program, I was given creative freedom to answer questions in whatever medium I chose. For this, I decided to write a script, play 2 characters (both versions of me), and interview myself. The whole process was completed by me.

Vlog - For Personality

This vlog was also filmed during month 3 of my Masters Program. The purpose of this video is so that you are able to get a sense of my personality and me as a person.

Deal With It - Director’s Cut

During month 4 of my Masters Program, I was given 15 min to film and direct a scene to show my ability to direct actors/actresses. This was an original script I wrote for the scene. I also assisted the DP Bryan Mercado-Saavedra with the framing of the shots.

In Danger - Director’s Cut

During month 4 of my Masters Program, I was given 15 min to film and direct another scene to show my ability to direct actors/actresses. The script for this one was to show our ability to take something from the public domain and make it our own. I went with Sherlock Holmes . I also assisted the DP Madi McNair with the framing of the shots.
