Working behind the camera on projects like Prized, Katie, and Rock the House, Virginia took the knowledge gained from those experiences to produce a commercial in a MoFilms competition, placing top 5. Being the Creator and Executive Producer of Wait Crimes has been the sum of all her endeavors, kerneling from the desire to create something meaningful for and with her friends. Rebellious server and advocate for serving up justice promptly and piping hot.
