This is the final episode for season three. I'm going to go on a bit of a hiatus, even though I'll be on hiatus for a bit, I more than likely will still pop on every now and again whenever I have something exciting to share!
What I'm going to be heading into, for those of you that have been listening for a little while now, a few months ago I directed a project called The Good Balloon. I'm about to head into post-production on that.
Finally, as many of you know, my first feature film is out into the world. We've had some wonderful reviews. Please check out Elevate Film on Amazon!
Then, with my next feature film, this is the first time I'm actually using a professional script consultant! I'll be working with Pilar and am so nervous and excited about this, which leads me to the topic of today’s episode:
Don't not do something, don't not move forward because you feel like you're not ready.
S3 EP15
This week’s episode is super duper quick as I bring you along on my journey of the distribution and release of my first feature film ELEVATE.
I hope you are getting something out these tidbits I’m sharing, what I am learning, as well as the behind the scenes of what I am experiencing emotionally and mentally.
The good, the bad, and the ugly Ya’ll!

If you keep your eyes on the prize, stay hyper focused, determined, do the work, DO THE WORK and don’t give up, you’ll find you’re so called competitors dropping off along the way.
The truth of the matter is, there are tons of folks that “dabble” in this industry and are not operating at a competitive level at all.
S3 Ep12 GloZell Green on attitude, knowing who you are and surrounding yourself with positive folk.
What I learned about this particular lady is that she actually IS an actress and has a degree in musical theatre! In reality, she is a self producing actor that did her self producing on YouTube, way before it was a even a thing.
She’s been on the internet making people laugh for over a decade and I had such a blast getting to know her. She is such a light and so incredibly inspiring, honest with much wisdom to share.
I bring you part one, of my two part interview with the dynamic Glozell Green!

This is part 2 of a two part interview. This recording is longer than part one, but oh soooo good!
Here writer/director Bruce Logan and I geek out about editing in DaVinci (no encoding or transcoding?!) we also go over the timeline of making his feature film LOST FARE.
Bruce also shares his insights on marketing, distribution and what being an indie filmmaker is REALLY like! The good the bad and the ugly.
Please check out his amazing film LOST FARE on Amazon! It's so powerful, heartbreaking and incredibly poignant:LOST FARE
In this week's episode: I have a special guest who actually worked with Madonna, George Carlin and THE Stanley Kubrick!
This man has had an incredible career as a DOP and has just released his first feature film that he wrote and directed.
This is part one of a two part episode. Enjoy!
Today’s episode is for writers or actors that write and are thinking about self producing.
The lead actress on the film I am currently directing, is also first time film producer, wrote the script and she is the star of the film.
As many of you know I am passionate about helping actors and writers product their own projects though my self producing partner consulting program, and although Lita is not one of my students, her project embodies all the elements that I teach my students.
Today I talk about what I think the most important element is when producing your own project:
What story can you tell that will inspire people to want to help you make your movie?
Today's episode is super duper short but I thought I'd update you on what is happening now and give you two quick thoughts about preparing for your shoot in regards to working with your actors.
If you are a first time director and wonder how to work with actors, this super quick episode is for you! In a nutshell though, TRUST THEM!
If you cast your project properly you've cast actors that are trained and know what to do. Trust is everything! If you've cast someone more for their personality, trust that. We are shooting THE GOOD BALLOON in just a few short weeks and I can't wait to get on set. We have cast some super talented actors and even hired a YouTube sensation.
I LOVE DIRECTING! I really hope you are spending your day on projects you love as well.
