“As a DOP traveling and shooting in Germany for American Travel Channel show we had typical demands; moving lots of gear with schedule changes, multiple locations and lots of driving. Fortunately we had a great german crew. Including my great Assistant Camera Monica. As typical, multiple cameras and a variety of specialty cams kept her busy. Always smiling, she was meticulous and always one step ahead of me, as in… doing what I was thinking before I said it. Plus handling all the media over long days. An excellent experience and would love to work with her anytime. If someone is traveling to Germany, call me…. I have a great recommendation for you!”

“Monica always has the common goal in mind, and to have her on a team is an asset! On my team, as a Camera Assistant and DIT during a two week documentary shoot, she was always on the ball, and did her job flawlessly. Thanks to her motivation and dedication, she rapidly expanded her skillset, and when the going got tough, she continued to work quickly, carefully and professionally.”

“Monica's creative eye and thoughtful collaboration gave me wonderful footage to work with. I had great confidence in her ability to make the shoot count with imaginative and well-crafted images, that would serve the story well.”

“Working with Monica has been a real pleasure. Diligent, thoughtful and hard working, she has a real passion for storytelling as well as a very strong visual sense. Monica certainly knows the realities of self-production and regardless of the obstacles, she does not compromise but always puts respect at the core of her projects.”
