Lidia Grande-Ruiz
I began working with Lidia in Fall 2021 and have had the pleasure of watching her grow and thrive as a young artist over the past few years. I have watched as Lidia has continued to improve as a technician in all phases of the filmmaking process. Over the time I’ve known LIdia she has consistently helped her classmates beyond the course requirements and has received glowing reviews as a compassionate and responsible team member.

Lidia was a joy to work with. She was always very enthusiastic about her tasks, and was never afraid to ask follow-up questions so she could get the task done just the way a customer wanted it. Lidia is also top notch at time organization and is able to handle multiple tasks at once.
Lidia was my student in Filmmaking III and The Art and Craft of Editing, and in the short amount of time I’ve worked with her I’ve come to understand her as an artist and collaborator. She’s an incredibly hard-working teammate. Students often request her as their film editor, and even branched into cinematography. I heard great things from her classmates about her on-set demeanor and the high quality of her work.
