She also produced multiple award winning short films - "Yes,Darling! (2021), "Like.Share.Repost." (2019), as well as a VR project called "Other People's Trouble" (2017).
"The Old Bench in New York" (2024) shot in NYC's Central Park is her directorial debut in film. ("I grew up with this saying, 'We'll have a rest, we'll see diamonds in the sky... after we die'. And then I faced a possible death sentence - cancer diagnosis.... And my life was forever changed. My second life started when I realized I only had one. The characters in this film reach this conclusion too late, thus only a hologram remains to live out the best days on their behalf").
