The Documented Heart

This week, we're joined by Jenn Valluzzo. Jenn is the creative powerhouse behind the company Films of Life. She makes gorgeous, emotional films from the videos in your camera roll (you know - the ones you take and then immediately forget about and never watch again?). She is a former documentary family photographer and videographer who put down her big camera during the pandemic and followed her passion for showing people how beautiful their lives really are - and teaches us how to take better phone videos along the way.
