As a teacher, she brings in various Guest Directors for her students ranging from casting directors to directors to producers. These Chubbuck Guest Directors are mindfully chosen by Rebekah to showcase underrepresented populations in the film community (female, various ethnicities, LGBTQ+ etc.). Her goal is to connect students with working professionals in order to enhance job opportunities.
- Connection and collaboration with students. Rebekah is not only a certified Chubbuck Acting Technique Teacher but is also an on set Intimacy Coordinator. This unique combination of skills helps her to connect with artists in an accelerated sincere way and creates space for innovative transformative collaboration, while keeping actors both emotionally and physically safe.
Currently, she is in post for two vignettes she wrote/produced/directed remotely for the upcoming feature film, AFTER MASKS. These vignettes were BOTH shot remotely and/or under Covid-19 Safety Guidelines.
