I am the DIT for the feature Grounded in Love. Searching for clarity in her life, Annie takes a trip to her grandmother’s Kentucky farm. Nothing seems changed, except Jake, Annie’s childhood friend. As they reconnect, Annie rediscovers what matters most when everything seems uncertain.
My office was in the stable and I’d hang out with all the horses. Loved it!

Description
I am the Media Manager for this shoot. That means I collected all the video and audio files and cloned them onto various hard drives. My job is to ensure the integrity of the data thru the Production Pipeline.
Great American Family Channel
In Grounded in Love, Annie (McKellar), a spirited, Manhattan-based flight attendant, thrives on adventure and freedom, until an unexpected airline merger grounds her career and a breakup with a self-absorbed boyfriend leaves her questioning everything. Searching for clarity, Annie takes a road trip to her grandmother’s rural Kentucky farm – a place she hasn’t visited in years, though holds close to her heart. Nothing on the farm seems to have changed, except Jake (Donovan), Annie’s childhood friend who recently traded in fast-paced city life for something more intentional. As two old friends reconnect, Annie rediscovers what matters most – family, faith, community, and the kind of love that stays rooted when everything else seems uncertain. Premiering Saturday, September 27 at 9/8c or stream Grounded in Love on Pure Flix.
