Meet the Womp Haus!

Haley Brown ‘27 - Media Studies

Who wears a size 8 shoe, was born with the bob, and spent last spring in Romania’s third-largest city? Haley B, and don’t you forget it.

Best spot to avoid people on campus? She’s keeping that one to herself.

Her formative watches:
🎬 Bully (2001)
🎥 Clone High (2002-2003)
🍿 Starship Troopers (1997)

Right now she’s got smokedope2016’s THE COMEDOWN, Phyllomedusa’s Amphibians Performing Surgery, and Unwound’s New Plastic Ideas in rotation.

Haley’s our Senior Womp Haus intern this year, so stop by and hit her up if you have any camera, lighting, or grip questions!

Are you ready? We are!

We’ve got lots of gear, t-shirts, bags, free snacks, and stickers, too!

The Womp Haus Open Haus is a great time to meet your fellow filmmakers, get insight into the gear on offer, and make some connections with future crew members.

Stop by for five minutes or stay all afternoon!

Meet the Womp Haus!

Mia Zottoli ‘27 - Film

Mia’s collection of keychains has outgrown all reasonable limits—she’s got more than four carabiners’ worth and counting.

Need to disappear on campus for a while? Mia swears by the up-up-Deece as the best spot to avoid everyone.

Best movies:
🎥 Booksmart (2019)
🎬 The Invite. (2026)
📺 Everything Sucks! (2018)

Right now her playlist is stacked with Mon Laferte’s Femme Fatale, CMAT’s EURO-COUNTRY, and Valé’s La Danza del Despertar making a solid rotation for camera, lighting, and audio prep at the Womp Haus.

Meet the Womp Haus!

Kiki Takata ‘27 - Film & Psychology

Kiki’s list of weird celebrity encounters includes a silent dance party with Joan Baez. No further explanation available, and none needed. (Also: she’s an undercover Wasian, 25% Japanese, and makes a mean stir fry.)

Best spot to avoid people on campus? The golf course, no contest.

Movies that made her:
🎬 The Apartment (1960)
🎥 Daisies (1966)
🍿 A Hard Day’s Night (1964)

Right now her playlist includes: This Is Lorelei’s Box for Buddy, Box for Star, The Who’s Tommy, and The Magnetic Fields’ Get Lost. So if you hear some thunderous ‘70s rock floating through the halls of Vogelstein, you’ll know who’s prepping gear in VCDF 210.

When she’s not at the Womp Haus, she’s getting tackled on the rugby field, singing acapella, or dancing; not necessarily in that order.

Sometimes we have to dig a little deeper to find the root of the problem. This Panasonic EVA1 seemed content to intermittently shut off. An hour and many, many screws later and it’s back on the shelf!

Meet the Womp Haus!
Marta Karpovich ‘29 - Film.
Ask Marta about Meryl Streep and settle in since she can name every single one of her movies from memory, in exact release order.
Her pick for best hideaway spot on campus? The chapel balcony, ideal for a quiet nap between classes.
Film on permanent replay:
🎬 Friends with Money (2006)
🎥 The Graduate (1967)
🍿 When Harry Met Sally (1989)
Right now her playlist is on repeat with Lucy Dacus’ Home Video, perfect background music for spending quality time with cinema lenses at the Womp Haus.
One more thing, for the record: Marta’s already cast Brad Pitt to play her in the biopic.
