It’s Not Hard to Take Charge: A Woman’s POV on Directing Films
As a woman, I'm sometimes asked why I picked a male dominated business to be in. My response is always the same, “Besides nursing and teaching (with the exception of university, then the workplace mostly consists of males), most professions are already male dominated.” They stop and think about it and then say, “You’re right.” Any woman that wants to have a professional career of her own must always compete among the men. So I have had to learn to adjust mys…

From 'Real to Reel': The Three E’s of an Independent Filmmaker
If I ever told my mother that I was homeless when I stayed in Savannah, GA for film school, she would have killed me. I remember the day I graduated from Virginia State University and thinking to myself… 'What the hell am I going to do now that I graduated school?' I just received my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, but I knew that was not what I wanted to do. My heart wasn’t in it at all. I knew what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, but I just d…

What Are Your 2015 Goals?
Welcome to the first weekend of 2015, everyone, and a very Happy New Year to you all. Due to travel and time constraints, there is no Weekend Blog this week. Instead, I thought it would be a great time to discuss and share our plans and goals for the coming year. Some of what I am planning on accomplishing in 2015 includes writing 2 scripts, completing my crowdsourcing book for Focal Press, dipping my toes back into acting, filming a short and implementing a myriad of Stage 32 init…
Making Movie Magic
Ask any established producer or director their advice on how to get noticed as a filmmaker, and you'll no doubt hear the same thing over and over: "Shoot something!" Seems simple enough. Too often though, excuses win the day. No money. No access to cast or crew (sacrilege if you're a 32'er). No time.
