The two filmmaking classes Rebecca is attending at School of Visual Arts start to wind down. She wants to take a more narrative approach with her Cinematography final class project and chooses to write, direct, and star in the short film herself. 

Rebecca creates a piece that explores the dichotomy of two neighboring establishments located on 45th Street that has been intriguing her for years.

Following a strong desire to start examining the art of filmmaking from the other side of the camera, Rebecca becomes a student in two continuing education courses at the School of Visual Arts in New York City: Cinematography and Film Directing.

For her Cinematography midterm assignment, she is tasked with utilizing the various camera techniques being taught in class and decides to deploy them within the structure of one of her favorite poems.

After a couple of years, Rebecca is excited to be back in the studio to continue her dance training at Broadway Dance Center.

She has been especially enjoying Commercial Jazz classes, taught by longtime instructor, Debbie Wilson. In order to usher in the trick-or-treat season, here Rebecca performs a ‘bewitching’ dance to Dove Cameron’s “Boyfriend” as choreographed by Debbie.

For a photography session entitled “American Hustle,” Rebecca taps into her Studio 54 dreams while working with friend and collaborator, Steven Bidwell of Chappetto Square Productions.

This ‘Fallen Angel’ may surprise you when she tells you she used to be an international spy. She dances the night away, but the party is far from over for her when the disco ball stops turning, as this is when the true ‘70s debauchery begins.
