Meet our Members: Jini Palmer, Editor (Final Cut Pro)

I decided to study and pursue film professionally after starting my first short in 2002, a 5-minute documentary through Spy Hop Productions and the Sundance Institute. After selling my short to HBO I realized that I had not only the desire, but the talent to pursue this passion on a professional level. I continued to pursue projects with film teachers, artists and students while completing my own personal projects. Simultaneously, I have discovered a deep love for composing my own music and integrating it into my films. In 2006 I obtained my film degree and am now excited to step beyond personal production and endeavor upon professional projects.
