I got started by coming back to the industry after a long break from acting and found out you have to "Produce Your Own Work To Get Noticed!" Huh? I left when you walk in an agents office and they say "yeah you're hired kid," but then I'm no longer a kid and that's definetly NOT how it's done now. Self tapes, websites, short films, web series and pod casts to get on the radar or it's a big Who Are You? Let's not even get into how many Followers Do You Have...

So I started making content...LOTS of content. 14 films in the last 2 years and counting! I watch and collaborate with good people and run from the 'me me me, this is my film, aren't I great?" filmmakers. It takes a village people. You want to do it alone? Go do a one-person show on off-broadway. This is filmmaking and it's all about teamwork to make good content. Want a great film? Then work with people you really love! Your audience will see it.
