Duke University — "Rewiring the Future" (Quantum Computing Feature)

Sometimes the job is to come in and save the day. Produced in partnership with INVNT, 'Rewiring the Future' is a feature on Duke University's Quantum Center — the team betting that the future of quantum computing belongs not to tech giants, but to a university willing to solve every layer of the problem at once. I was brought onto this edit at the last minute, turning it around over a single weekend with no prior familiarity with the footage or the story going in. The challenge was to build a coherent narrative fast: finding the through-line across interviews with the center's leading researchers, pacing the technical ambition so it stays human, and shaping it all into a film that conveys why Duke's blue-sky bet matters. It's a piece that reflects how I work under a tight deadline — quickly getting up to speed on unfamiliar material and delivering polished, finished storytelling when the timeline leaves no room for a learning curve.
