UpRooted follows a college botanist on his Ph.D. research abroad, where a rare specimen he discovers turns out to have significant cultural and criminal value — pulling him into a dangerous underground conflict he never saw coming.
Director: Ethan Swick Writers: Ethan Swick Stars: Curtis Stout, Kate Schaefer, McKenna Mordoch, Elena Dahoke, Jerry Mac Johnston, Jordyn Ryhnearston
On UpRooted I served as Audio Supervisor on a larger crew than I had worked with before. That scale changed the dynamic significantly — leading audio on a full production meant asserting my decisions clearly while coordinating with department heads who each had their own vision for the project.
It was the first time I had to genuinely lead rather than just contribute. Balancing that responsibility alongside BTS photography pushed me to manage my time and attention in a way smaller sets never had. The experience sharpened both my technical audio skills and my ability to operate confidently within a larger professional structure.
