Jarita has worked with one studios on several other projects, including the short films In the End and Close Your Eyes. Close Your Eyes was a made as a part of the 2013 Sacramento 48 Hour Film Festival and is currently being reworked into it’s final form. In the End is presently in post-production and is slated to be finished by the end of the year, when it will then be entered into various film festivals.

“This is going to be a really good movie. I just know it!“
You’re enthusiasm and dedication towards the project is very much appreciated Jarita. Thanks for being a part of it, as well as so many other of our films!
