Halee
Bernard

For the last decade, I've produced stories for
the screen. My favorite projects are
humanist and character-driven, capturing
the wonder and hardship of being alive. I’m
an advisor for the
Sundance Collab, a 1:1
story consultant, and a frequent production
manager. I’m also the Director of
Partnerships at
Bloodletter Magazine.
