In the midst of World War II, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-female African-American unit, undertook the monumental task of sorting and delivering a massive backlog of mail for the U.S. military. Despite facing deplorable working conditions and the pervasive dual discrimination of race and gender, these women served their country with unbreakable determination and pride.
As director and editor of this film, I was involved in every aspect of its conception; including all pre-production research, interviews, and relationship building with subjects. On set, I oversaw all camera and audio operations, asked thought provoking questions and coordinated all scenes and additional b-roll footage. In post-production, I essentially brought the story together with all previously recorded footage. I weaved together the thoughts of each subject, additional archival videos, images, and graphics, in addition to all music and sound effects.
A remarkable woman challenges two centuries of Navy tradition and discrimination, becoming a champion for equal opportunities to serve on-board ship and in combat -- all while rising to the rank of captain and becoming a source of strength to her family.
As editor and co-writer for this film, I worked closely with the film’s director to execute his vision, while also providing a different perspective and ideas for edits, design, all graphics, music and sound effects.

As editor of this trailer, I wanted to capture the style and feeling of the film and reveal just enough that influences the viewer to watch the entire film.
