TESTIMONIALS
“Mandy has a deep grasp of how to connect with her interviewees and ultimately, a story. She is able to navigate emotion and expectations well, with the ability to encourage and convince people to share their reality and vulnerabilities. She translates the issues within a narrative through the way she is able to capture and visualise her surroundings.”
-Sharon Hun, Executive Producer
Channel News Asia
“Mandy is an experienced storyteller with the ability to form quick and close bonds with her interviewees. She has a good sense of where a good story lies and how to bring out that narrative within the story’s characters.Her ability to build trust through communication and empathy aids not only in storytelling but also on a production front, in negotiation, managing expectations and problem solving from pre to post.”
-Andrew Holland, Executive Producer
Beach House Pictures
“Mandy showed excellent communication skills, met our targets in terms of producing quality mini- documentaries on tech people and issues, and contributed a great deal in terms of content ideas. She showed an adeptness at combining reporting with her technical videography skills. In addition, Mandy always cooperated quickly and effectively with myself (for ideation, text edits, and deadlines), with one other colleague in the US (for video edits, graphics, and voiceovers). On a personal level, she’s friendly, energetic, driven, proactive, keen to hear feedback, and a pleasurably cooperative individual to work with.”
