Telos (2021)

"Telos" is a 15 minute short film about a woman who designs a revolutionary probe after a chronic illness prevents her from going to space.

Charissa had the privilege of working with writer-director Natalie LaValley on this film as production manager, and part of the editing team. As production manager Charissa successfully oversaw safety protocols for Covid19 during filming in August of 2020. The film relies on a lot of public domain footage from the NASA archives, and it was Charissa’s job to search and catalogue useable clips for the editing team.
