I have worked with Karen on many shows over the years... One thing that is very important to me... is the "feeling" a Director has when calling shots/cuts...and with Music.... it is extremely important...and Karen Excels at this... Her attention to detail in Pre Production and Blocking and her rapport with her Operators is outstanding... When you hire Karen...you hire a woman that knows her craft so well...that you don't have to worry...which let You be more Creative...
