Jennifer Norton: Acting teacher, performance coach and director in Florence, Italy.

Hello Albert, good to meet you here!

Hi there Albert, nice to meet you. I look forward to continuing our connection more profoundly and thank you for introducing yourself to us all!

Hello Alok, nice to meet you too. Thank you for the welcome Jennifer, I look forward to connecting.

Saw the series!! Wow Caytha, congratulations on the entire project. I enjoyed watching each episode... the four female leads are just lovely- the actors a delight to watch, as they truly seem to enjoy their craft! Also I really appreciate the writing and that your team is giving voice to an under represented age group and gender, providing entertainment for the over 40 audience. Thank you for the series. I look forward to the next season!

Jen, Thank YOU! And, I would be honored to have you study under me one day. Hope all is well. Onward and Upward, and as I always say, 'Stay Fresh!' ;)

We shall make it happen then! I'll stay fresh and you stay cool! ;-)

Yes! And, as the Late, Great Elmore Leonard once said to me, "Always Cool." ;)

Thanks Jennifer! What a lovely compliment :) Here's to shifting the way screenwriters network to present more compassion to those with far too many "asks."

More power to you Melissa! Your style of presenting the issue is really wonderful- you're making a difference in our subculture and I sincerely THANK YOU for contributing to The Shift in Networking Practices. (Oh, I gave it a title- now we're cooking with gas!) Look out world! ;-)

Love it! <3

Hello Jennifer, I fully agree with you and in many ways I felt sorry for the student. I fully intend to keep working with students if I can as here are some very good ones trying really hard to put a good quality film together. Indeed as unpleasant as it was I think there is always a lesson that can be learnt from these sorts of incidents, although much of that learning depends on the individual. I thank you for your kinds words.

Hi Michael, yes there are some good students out there. In fact I've already had one student asking me if my bad experience will tarnish my working relationship with them. I've tried to assure them it won't.

You've got an awesome attitude Tony. And you too, Michael. I will share your story Tony, with my next batch of young filmmakers arriving at the end of June. Thank you for helping me be a better instructor through your real and sincere feedback.

Any time Jennifer. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Dawn

I truly did enjoy reading about your experiences and I also enjoyed hearing your voice in my head for the rest of the day! I too grew up hanging with the boys speaking their vernacular, learning the rules of what my Mom would call "playing with the big fish" (i.e. if you want to play with the big fish/your big brothers and their friends, you have to play by their rules, she'd say); and gaining priceless experience/knowledge that has served me since the day I left home and had to fend for myself in this male-oriented world. I thank my brothers all the time for what they taught me. I am a director, coincidentally female, however, I'm making films In Italy where even furniture is assigned a gender! I find myself categorised as a foreigner, an American, a woman- and then much further down the line are my qualities as an asset, a treasure chest of opportunity and potential, a person. I guess Dawn, no matter how we slice it, or how we express it, this is what it is to be a person with a vagina. What I love about your attitude/perspective, is that your love (like mine) for humans, be they male or female or both, is what rises above the yuck- also your love for your job elevates you and makes you an example, at least for me, of sincerity and direct communication. Which simply put are two forms of professionalism and respect. Nothing to do with gender, just adult behaviours at work, as far as I see it. Thanks for sharing, for being frank, and for lending your voice to the discourse. I wish you every dream come true. More power to you, sister!

Thanks for you comment. Keep making great films. I'm glad I could share this with you.

K.I.S.S, indeed! ;) Doesn't mean that, at some point, Stage 32 can't be involved. But you're right, Steven, keeping things simple is key. It's all about the story. Tomorrow I will have my brainstorm session and get back to you guys asap with what we come up with. By the way.. I live in the North of the Netherlands, in the province of Friesland. People are iceskating on the ROADS today!! not kidding! :) Take look by copy-pasting this url: https://www.facebook.com/onsleeuwarden/videos/532322476931083/?pnref=story

Tot Ziens!! Dag!!

I agree, keep it simple is the best. It's our project, our initiative. Let it be our project with our rules. By the way... I live not far from the German part of Friesland and know what you are talking about, Jaap. The worst is the ice-cold wind.

Best of Luck! Happy Holidays!

That title sums it up. Keep working on it. Don't let anyone tell you "No"...Onward.

Thank you. Happy Holidays everyone.

Best of luck with your scripts and projects. Look forward to hearing about them!
