Today we’re chatting with Scotland based, Jr Finishing Artist Magdalene Tautenhahn about the RTS-winning hospice documentary that set her on this path, why reading a room is the most underrated skill in post-production, and how hiking the Scottish hills is the perfect antidote to a life spent in the suite.

Today we’re chatting with Technical Manager Lily Ketley about her journey from teaching herself Premiere Pro in college to designing the technical workflows that keep post-production moving.
