As an artist my work is a direct reflection of my growth as a human being. I come from a long background in theater and have worked all aspects including acting, costuming, and lighting. After graduating from my home-school high school, I moved from my Tennessee town to live in New York as an intern for a Broadway producer where I worked with professionals in all areas of the performing arts in New York, Los Angeles, and London. Being able to thrive in these very diverse environments has imbued my work with a unique perspective and understanding of humanity and how we interact with each other.
My first work in film was in 2007 when my short film, “One Word”, was selected for the Film Your Issue VIP Jury Award. This opportunity allowed me to experiment with a new medium and encouraged me to use those skills and my voice to create solutions.
Every day I write in my journal and take pictures. My art, like myself, is a work in progress and constantly undergoing change. The driving force behind it is a passion to create an opportunity for others to see themselves and the world in a light and accessible way.
I want to know more about your short film and the topic it was on.
ReplyDeleteAll the way from Tennessee -- wow. How big was your town? And I second what Cheslea said -- what was your short film about?
ReplyDeletewhat performance did you work as a droducer in Broadway? Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your short film, "One Word."
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more experience in theater/stage production, I find that world to be quite intriguing.
Thanks guys! I will post my film as soon as I can handle the embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteCassie, I'm from a town of about 2,500 people.
I love theater. I'm still currently working on a show called The Kid Who Played the Palace.
Everyone gets shy about their own projects. Have love for your baby. You said you love theater. What of it do you love? Do you write plays, act, involve with the production?
