As an intern at the McColl Center for Art + Innovation, I had the opportunity in early March 2020 to assist professor, writer, and artist Maya Gurantz (find her here on Instagram) in production of her current project, Poem of E.L. (website and information available here). Our team had the incredible opportunity to film throughout the floors of the aging, venerable Commercial Building, located in Gastonia, NC. While managing time and resources, I photographed behing-the-scenes moments, team meetings, and unique circumstances.
