Halee Bernard
Producer | Consultant
For the last decade, I've produced stories for the screen. My favorite projects are humanist and character-driven, capturing the wonder, hardship, and joy 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 Development at Bloodletter Magazine.
