"Vivian is a great producer and one of the best I have had the pleasure of working with in my 18 year career. You'd be hard pressed to find someone as dedicated as she has [been] for our project. She helped us in all aspects of prep, production, post, and helped us navigate distribution and the festival circuit to great success."
