As the editor and music composer of this project I was in charge of creating the final cut in Da Vinci resolve. The project taught me a lot about movie making and really made me see how hard the editing process was towards the end of the deadline. The stress was on but I had a lot of fun working with the smoke and mirrors team. We’ve all worked hard and have put so much into this project and we are happy with the final outcome.

Smoke and Mirrors is a contemporary mystery pilot episode that follows four college students; a brother, a secret lover, a friend, and a class acquaintance. Unfamiliar with one another, each individual is unexpectedly sent mysterious notes regarding the disappearance of their fellow peer, Mia Baxter. They are suddenly thrown together to uncover the secrets, betrayals and lies that have caused Mia to disappear on the night of her 21st birthday.
