We’ve talked a bit about being an empathetic filmmaker on this podcast before and today’s guest is yet another example of why this skill is a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to making truly unique and standout work. Being able to connect with your couples first and foremost and make a film that’s for them, not for you or your ego as a creative, but for them is what results in art that has substance behind it.

Monika’s work is beautiful, raw, delicate and timeless. She’s one of those creatives who is clearly comfortable with their tool, comfortable with the “rules” of filmmaking and confident about breaking them in the best way possible.
