Making of The Fold
PRODUCED BY KAIA ROSE for electric shadow company
While living in Bristol and working full time as a producer for the animation company ArthurCox, I often produced behind-the-scenes films for various features that were shooting in the city. As a one-woman-band, I would organize the shoot, film and conduct the interviews, and then edit the film while liaising with the producers of the feature to ensure their film was represented accurately.

PRODUCTION MANAGER / ASSISTANT EDITOR: KAIA ROSE
Directed by BAFTA-winning director Adam Tyler, this short doc is a love letter to his local football club in the south west of London. As production manager, I organized the shoot on location in London and acted as assistant editor throughout post-production. The film was picked up for broadcast by Channel 4 in the UK.
