Hands down one of the best instructional videos I've seen.

Clear, cogent, intense β€” and funny. Mary, you're like that teacher at school you never forget.

Luke Allen

OK, I'm gonna simp out a bit.

After watching 10 million tutorials, hands down you're the smoothest and did the best job explaining. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

David F. Morris

Charming, succinct, and told me exactly what I needed to know.

BIGBMH

This is the best, no-frills explanation on YouTube.

You have no idea how annoying it can be (or maybe you do) when you just want a quick and helpful tutorial with great humor. SO THANK YOU.

Meet your teacher. πŸ‘‹

Hey, y'all! I'm Mary. I'm a creative director who especially loves video.

Right now I make YouTube documentaries investigating shady money-makers, but in the past I've run a wedding-video business called Thick & Thin Films and a marketing agency called Forward Films with my husband Myles.

And on a personal note, I'm highly excitable by mockumentaries, rescue animals and Beyoncé.
