Kael Lalonde

  Kael was born with Art in her bones. Raised on a sailboat in Canada by two Artists that nurtured, respected and cultivated her gifts. She was fascinated with drawing, writing stories and poetry at an extremely young age. And her parents showed her how to make Art out of every aspect of life.

 

  When her big sister died in a tragic car accident on her 11th birthday writing poetry and prose became her outlet and focus during the years of grief that followed.

She moved to Los Angeles when she was 20 to study the Art of Acting. And though she had a love for film and a gift for drama she was recruited by some classmates in a Improv class to join a comedy troupe. She thought mastering live comedy would only strengthen her craft and she became a key member of the group and was quickly promoted to Producer.

 

  While Kael got her degree in Theatre Arts she performed live Improv and Skits in venues all over the Los Angeles area with her troupe The MobScene.However Kael's fire for film only grew and she pushed more and more for the group to transition to that medium. She proposed to the group that she take a class in Video Editing in order for them to start filming a unscripted comedic mockumentary. 

 

  Working on the web-series taught her how to build a story in Post and she immediately fell in love with Editing. By the time Kael finally got the opportunity to work for Copper Canyon Productions she had been doing all aspects of production with her group for a few years. She was hired as a Production Assistant and Junior Editor and within only a couple months was promoted to Production Coordinator. The mentorship of her boss Richard Blanco transformed her in a extremely short amount of time. Because of her hunger dedication and ambition he allowed her responsibilities to continue to grow and expand. He taught her not just what to do to be great but how to think. 

   

  She went on to focus on expanding her skill set by taking courses online, working on more independent projects and becoming a key camera operator at her Church for services and events which has enhanced her abilities behind the camera and in Post. 

   

  Kael's years of working in many mediums of Art allow her to have a unique eye and creative vision in all areas of Production and Post. She continues to chase her dreams and could not be more excited to be in the process of making her first short film. She believes being an Artist is more then a talent or career, it is a calling, a way of being, of thinking and of living.
