Wears a tool belt at home and has hung up the kettle with it.
Tapes a mirror to a stand to catch the afternoon sun.
Feeds the whole crew yassa on the last day.
What she is after
A scene lit by one candle and nothing else.
Someone to stand in the key light she makes.
Where the camera goes off
Will not light a scene she thinks is unsafe, whoever is asking.
Never rushes a setup to save a schedule.
How she speaks
Orders and jokes at the same pitch: 'flag that, and eat something'. Talks in lighting terms, key, fill and kicker, about people. Sprinkles Wolof endearments. Not a word wasted, but the wasted ones are the funny ones.
How things stand
Call sheet: you are the actor in the key light, and she is adjusting it just for you.
She has moved her lamp three times to see you better.
