We need time to NOT create.

I don’t like it. I don’t like NOT creating. I don’t like not doing stuff. It’s somehow ingrained in me to work and work too much. That’s NOT HEALTHY. Captain obvious, I know. This challenge is common for many. It comes from being a creative freelancer, an indie artist/filmmaker, an entrepreneur and (for me) a […]

Why I started a nonprofit organization, and why you shouldn’t, unless you’re ready to put in the work. (My longest blog ever).

This blog has been something I’ve wanted to write for a while. I may have been procrastinating… or avoiding it because it brings up just a few (read: all) of my insecurities and fears.  But what better way to confront those issues than by addressing them publicly for all to read, right?  We’ll see. Let […]

Speed Date Me

Looking for love? I wrote a script about it and it became one of our last short films of the year. Our most recent BraveMaker Academy short film is in the can!

Sundance Film Fest Survival Tips

Sundance.  Since 2013 I’ve been attending this life changing festival. It might be cliche to say it’s magical but being in person in the snow, with some of the best artistic cinema in the world and the ones who make it is something special.  It’s been eleven years in a row, for me and two […]

Dare I say it?  There is no real creativity… without conflict.  Not my favorite thing, conflict, but it’s a necessary and important part of creativity…and life itself. Life is full of conflict. Just go on X, formally known as Twitter for five minutes and see all the differing opinions.  People debating war, human rights and […]

3 tips for creating a writing schedule 

Writing can be hard.Really hard. Even the best, most experienced writers can sympathize with this sentiment. I am far from the best or most experienced writer, but I can personally vouch for this. It can be amazing, don’t get me wrong; the feeling of having a creative outburst, the need to get words down on […]

Limitations don’t need to limit creativity.

I audition. I hear nothing. Or even worse…I don’t get to audition and watch my other friends book film roles, print ads, commercials and more. I’m happy for them, I think, (wink, wink) but I also wish it was me. Can you relate? I hear NO, a lot. A LOT. I’ve been looking for donors […]

How films can change the world

Movies are cool, right? Whether you’re a cinephile or not, almost everyone has a favorite film or two. Good films are generally entertaining, enjoyable, transporting, and the list of adjectives goes on and depends on the film. I personally don’t have a favorite film of all time, per se, but Tick, Tick…Boom! (2021) will always […]
