“a big part of my job, for me, is meeting things where they are at.” now, this is not only admirable, but words to live by. Elizabeth Vrkljan isn’t afraid to cut through the bs and tell you what’s up. and it’s good advice too, because she doesn’t just talk-the-talk, but has been in it, neck deep, walking the walk since they were a teenager. Join us this week as we speak with them about her incredible work as a cinematographer, artist, and human being.
