BCM’s Newest Team Member - Sweet tea, Cats & Editing

Hi, my name is Kylee and I’m not sure I could find my way home right now without a GPS.

It’s not that I’m directionally challenged. You see, I just moved here and before now my biggest relocation was about 60 miles south of the house I spent my entire life in.

Now I’m in this strange hilly place where everyone says ya’ll and they won’t stop trying to make me drink sweet tea. I don’t want any sweet tea. To the midwestern me, it may as well be Mars. But they tell me this place is called “Georgia”.

How does someone end up transplanted from amber waves of flippin’ grain to the foothills of whatever the nearest mountain range is (see, I don’t even know basic geography here yet, help me)? Well, one way is through the magic of the World Wide Web. You can read about how I made that happen on my blog, but the short version is stalking. Well, not like STALKING stalking. It just felt like it. Actually, it’s more like bumping into someone a lot.

Toward the end of college (Indiana University in Indianapolis) and into my first big girl job, I was on Creative COW a whole bunch trying to fill in all the gaps of my education. There are a handful of generous people that seem to post something every day and I found myself crossing Internet paths with the same 4 or 5 people. Over the last few years I’ve gotten to know them on the forums, on Twitter, and eventually in person at NAB. As you can guess, one of them was Walter and, long story short, now I’m in Georgia where the spiders are bigger and I’ll never have a good hair day ever again (thanks humidity!)

I’m excited for the opportunity to work for Biscardi Creative Media. A lot of people say that to suck up, but I really am. The post production industry is small and competitive, and the Web makes it smaller. Twitter can be scandal and Amanda Bynes meltdowns, but it can also be the conduit for extracting you from the safety of your quiet homeland and onto the next phase of your career, giving you opportunities you never had 50 miles from your birthplace. Like an edit room with a pink door.

Since this is a get-to-know-you sort of a blog post, here are a few more things about me: I bake pies and cupcakes, I can’t see more than 3 inches from my face without corrective lenses, I’ve had over 50 cats in my lifetime, I started editing when I was 14, I’m married to the first person who formally taught me how to use Final Cut Pro, I’m deathly arachnophobic but I like rollercoasters, my first time flying on a plane was when I was 22, I’m working on editing my first feature film in my free time, I write too much stuff on the Internet, and I’m glad I have Google Maps on my phone.
