Are you passionate about storytelling, history, or social justice? Do you want to be part of a creative team bringing powerful stories to life through documentary filmmaking? Join us at 3 Muses Photography & Productions, where we’re currently developing a series of documentaries that explore diverse and impactful subjects.
Our ongoing projects include:
1. The Haserot Angel: A deep dive into the mysterious and evocative Haserot Angel sculpture in Cleveland, exploring its historical significance and cultural symbolism.
2. Bound by Love: A poignant documentary on intermarriage during the Holocaust, capturing the stories of love, resilience, and defiance during one of history’s darkest periods.
3. Queer Politics & Theatre in Florida: An exploration of the intersection of queer politics and theatre in Florida, examining how the arts are being used to navigate and challenge current political climates.
As a research assistant, you’ll have the unique opportunity to contribute to the creative and analytical aspects of documentary production. Your tasks will include conducting thorough research on the topics, assisting with script development, organizing and editing film footage, and possibly engaging with the technical aspects of documentary editing using tools like DaVinci Resolve.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in documentary filmmaking while exploring topics that are both deeply personal and widely relevant. Your work will help bring these important stories to the screen, where they can educate, inspire, and provoke thought.

As a mentor, I believe in creating a supportive and collaborative learning environment where students are encouraged to explore and develop their skills. I am understanding and patient, always happy to teach and guide, but I also place great importance on students putting forth their best effort. I view mentoring as a partnership where both the mentor and mentee grow together. My aim is to help students not only succeed in their current projects but also to equip them with the tools and confidence to tackle future challenges independently.
