Then won an AT&T Create-a-thon Competition in 2017
Once the recession hit in 2006, Summer took up office work to make ends meet. All
mean while she worked on short films. Summer shot, edited and co-directed 4 short films for sexual assault against Native American Women. She won a competition on Geneca, Switzerland for the tribe. These projects required traveling and it was while Summer traveled that she gained a great sense of enrichment though all these life experiences and new awareness of cultures.
