After producing a few of her own short films, "Just Like the Movies" and "Tactics", she took the skills she had learned and found a passion for producing. Elizabeth’s focus has shifted to helping other filmmakers, notably female storytellers, bring their stories to life. She is committed to working on projects that have at least 50% female representation, in front of and behind the camera.
