Phase 2 Productions Assistant Director

Hi I’m Maya, I’m a filmmaker with roots in documentary storytelling and a lot of time spent in the camera department working as an Assistant Camera. I’m especially passionate about cinematography, color grading, and helping people feel comfortable exploring their creativity. As a Spy Hop alum and a Phase 2 Productions mentor, I care deeply about creating productions that feel collaborative, supportive, and professional. Can’t wait to work with you on set!
