Video Production
"Kori consistently demonstrates an innate ability to create
compelling and thought-provoking video content. Her intuitive grasp of storytelling, combined
with her technical proficiency exceeds expectations."
—Video Production Professor, Southern New Hampshire University
Kori has always had a passion for and appreciation of visual storytelling. Her love for creative video production began at age nine when she started casting her stuffed animals and American Girl Dolls in iPod touch stop-motion movies. In high school, Kori's affection for video evolved as she frequently edited comical clips of her friends to post on Instagram. As an adult, her skills and ideas have blossomed into her own original style, and yes—she still does stop-motion.During her time at Southern New Hampshire University, Kori wrote, directed, and edited numerous short films for several courses. She collaborated with other students to assist in the production of their projects as an actress on several occasions as well. Kori has been featured 3x in films by former classmate Thomas Wilkins: Whiplash: Bris Tangle's Rubbish Life (2022), Just Like A Dream (2023), and The Device (2023). Her short film Day In The Life (2023) was featured at the 2023 Humanities Film Festival at Southern New Hampshire University. She was featured again 2x at the 2024 Humanities Film Festival with I'm Looking Through You (2022) and A Little (More) Conversation (2023). Most recently, Kori’s original screenplay L’amoureux (The Lover) (2026) took home the Stargazer Award for Most Inspiring Film at the 2026 Creative Guts Short Film Festival.Some of Kori's biggest inspirations in video production are movies When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, and Call Me By Your Name. Though Kori loves every aspect of the video production process, she feels her greatest strength is in the editing. Her cinematic style is eclectic, vintage, lyrical, and romantic. She loves using various mediums when creating her projects, from the incorporation of hand-illustrated art into shot sequences to spinning records for unique audio takes. Kori is always looking for ways to experiment with video and discover how she can use her writing expertise to enhance and innovate her work.

L'amoureux (The Lover)

Set in Bordeaux and shot in southwestern France, L'amoureux (The Lover) (2026) is a love letter to long distance depicted by real-life lovers. Inspired by Kori's all-encompassing romance, this film adaptation of her short story takes viewers on a voyeuristic journey through the senses of a perceptive next-door neighbor. Narrated entirely in French, L'amoureux explores the neighbor's longing for the intimacy she once audibly experienced in the adjacent apartment. It serves as poetic proof that love can be felt in the wake of absence and that distance truly does make the heart grow fonder.✦ Official Selection, Creative Guts Short Film Festival (2026)
✦ WINNER, Stargazer Award for Most Inspiring Film
A Little (More) Conversation
A Little (More) Conversation (2023) is a nostalgia-soaked passion piece demonstrating Kori’s witty writing and integrity. While sitting in her college classes, Kori observed how many students preferred the company of their phones to that of their peers. Feeling alienated by this modern mentality, Kori set out to portray the feeling through film.✦ Official Selection, SNHU Humanities Film Festival (2024)
Day in the Life
Day In The Life (2023) depicts Kori's day-to-day in the most cinematically intriguing and pleasing way possible.

I'm Looking Through You

The Number 9 Hypothesis
The Number 9 Hypothesis (2022) blends Kori’s undying love for The Beatles with her extensive knowledge of the band in a refreshing and strategically humorous piece. Inspired by The White Album's bizarre "Revolution 9," this film highlights Kori's dedication to seamless edits and more importantly, the bit.
Margot
Margot (2022) originated from an assignment to visually reimagine Ray Bradbury's short story All Summer in a Day. The hours Kori spent in college literature courses paid off with this symbolic depiction of an intricate textual analysis.
Visual Poetry of the Elegant Essence
Visual Poetry of The Elegant Essence (2022) captured Kori as she began to fall in love. Though she doesn't explicitly state it, her use of romantic shots, various expressions of contentment, and sincere, honest monologue document this very real moment in her life like a visual diary entry.

A. I attended Southern New Hampshire University (the campus) and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing and English and a minor in Art History.Q. What is your creative brainstorming process?
A. I truly feel that some of my best ideas have originated in the shower. Most of my inspiration is derived from my own experiences or favorite songs, so I carry a notebook with me everywhere I go.Q. What is your favorite movie?
A. When Harry Met Sally. It's hard for me to imagine a world where anything tops it. Other high-ranking films on my list include Call Me By Your Name, You've Got Mail, and my childhood favorite—The Wizard of Oz. I'm guilty of watching these movies on a loop when I should be expanding my cinematic knowledge.Q. What is the best book you've read as an adult?
A. Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman is a novel that I repeatedly find myself drawing creative inspiration from. I enjoy poetic writing, and that piece does exactly that. Another one that comes to mind is Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer.Q. What were your favorite book series as a young reader?
A. As a product of 2002, some memorable series from my childhood were A to Z Mysteries by Ron Roy, Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park, Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osbourne, Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney, and Ivy + Bean by Annie Barrows. Some of my stand-alone favorites were introduced to me by schoolteachers , such asThe Big One-Oh by Dean Pitchford, Closed for the Season by Mary Downing Hahn, and The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. I also have fond memories of my dad reading me the entirety of the Harry Potter series, which I won in a library raffle for completing my summer reading.Q. You're working on writing your very own children's book. As you develop your story, have any picture books inspired you?

A. Anything that allows me to tell a story with beautiful imagery. My primary mission in my work is to make even the mundane sound magical.Q. What advice do you have for those wanting to start writing?
A. Writing is subjective, so take criticism with a grain of salt. Not everyone will like your work and that's entirely okay. You have to create for yourself and make art you want to consume regardless of its marketability. I resonate most with pieces that feel authentic to the artist behind it, not based on what's trending.Q. How do you combat writer's block?
A. Stepping away from the piece and revisiting it in a few days, weeks, or sometimes months. It always gives me a fresh perspective and makes the story better.Q. What is your favorite part of the video production process?
A. The editing. It's what I enjoy most, feel I'm best at, and always look forward to.Q. How do you begin developing a short film?
A. It all depends on the type of video I am producing. I tend to start with a song and design the concept around that. When there's a beat, I can visualize the timing, cuts, transitions, etc. in my head. For organizational purposes, having a rough script and shot list is also beneficial.Q. What's your favorite song?
A. This is an impossible question, but I can give you my top three (in no particular order.) "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, "Take On Me" by a-ha, and "Something" by The Beatles. I can also tell you that I've listened to "Don't You (Forget About Me)" nearly 700 times as of June 2026.Q. What do you like to do aside from writing and video production?
