Introduce Yourself : First-Time Filmmaker by Jynnette Lewis

I'm originally from Orlando, FL and have been in the performing arts most of my life. I played the viola for over 10 years and then got into acting, dance, and singing while in college where I got my degree in Mathematics (I know!!). I moved out to LA in 2007 and was initially doing the "starving artist" thing before I decided to shift gears and actually take the time to build a "life" out here. I've been able to make some wonderful friends and develop a deep groundedness in my self perception in the process and I'm SOOOO glad I bucked the trend of all the other artists I was around. Now my life is stable and I'm not having to worry about having my creative pursuits support my basic survival. I have set out to write, produce, and direct films--my own and others. I wrote 2 feature scripts and am working on bringing the 2nd one to real life in 2015. I am keeping video blogs of my journey through the process which you can follow both on FB (www.facebook.com/TheCleanSlatemovie) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/seeCLEANSLATE). Stay focused, folks!
