Will sleep later…
Would be lying through my teeth if I said I’m no Would be lying through my teeth if I said I’m not insanely thrilled to be included in @newcitymag’s Film50 list for the first time, and among so many friends, colleagues, clients and powerhouses in the Chicago film community.

Learned SO much, met amazing bakers and sipped on a holiday cocktail all while putting together this little masterpiece. Will *for sure* be back to learn and laugh and let myself have a little fun with buttercream. If my first people are movie people, my second people are baking people.
