As an urban explorer, I often get to see abandoned houses. However, none may have been as filled with antique history as this one. Fittingly frozen in time like the many stopped clocks that litter its dilapidated rooms, this 19th-century New Jersey cottage was once home to an enigmatic clockmaker and collector of curios, but now lies empty and forlorn, the pendulum having swung squarely against its favor.

As I peaked around the rooms, I was in awe with what was left behind. How can a house filled with such value now be void of life?

After getting her BA in Communication, watching more guilty-pleasure films and TV series than she should have and becoming interested in how it‘s all made, Violeta wandered into the Film Industry and got to see and experience the mysterious behind-the-scenes of film production: from finances to sets to marketing.
