I’ve had many successful moments. Every time I got to direct a project and have a finished film to share with the world is a successful moment.  Being the assistant director on A student Academy Award winning film, winning a gold Telly Award for my thesis film La Ruta, being in the Ryan Murphy director shadowing… Read More @starvictoriadirector: What is a successful moment in your career so far?

My biggest concern with the future really doesn’t have much to do with my career, because if I keep hustling eventually something good will come of it. My biggest concern for the future is more so the world and the state of America. We have to do better with recycling. We need to find a… Read More @starvictoriadirector: What is your biggest concern with the future?

A defining moment in my life occurred when I walked across the stage to get my Masters Degree from the University of Southern California School of cinematic arts. As they say, I did that! Getting my education was challenging. I lost a lot of friends and romantic relationships because of it.  I am very focused… Read More @starvictoriadirector: What’s a defining moment in your life?

I am so humbled and excited to share a 5-part series with Cynthia Bemis Abrams and “Advanced TV Herstory”. Because Cynthia says it so much better than I can: “Sometimes we lose sight of the adage “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Since lockdown I’ve connected with people and organizations that… Read More 5-Part Podcast Series with “Advanced TV Herstory”

I’ve always been a lover of movies since I was a kid. I knew when I was 13 years old, I wanted to work in the film / television industry. I thought acting was the only way to do that as there was very little representation behind the camera for minorities.  But then I started… Read More @starvictoriadirector: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

Right now, I am working on setting a premiere for Crystal & Chelsea, an independent pilot I wrote with my best friend Khiyon Hursey, starred in, and produced alongside my good friend Miranda Pancheco. It is very timely and about a psychic that scams white women into being less racist. It’s basically Don’t Trust the… Read More @thewittygirl: What are you working on next? In addition, if people want to find out more about you, where can they find you on social media?

I know this sounds absolutely insane. But every year I save all the drive-ons from studios I’ve gotten as a sort of measure of how much access I have in Hollywood. Bonus points for actual badges. This tradition was important to me as someone who temped a lot around various studios and worked as an… Read More @thewittygirl: What, if anything, do you collect?

Do not date in the industry and don’t be afraid to speak up. Do not be afraid to say that you are a writer or an actor or whatever you want to be, because I guarantee you, a white guy with half your qualifications is telling everyone that he is. 

Right now, what I consider to be a successful moment is when people I admire notice the hard work I am putting in and let me know that they see me trying my best. Honestly, those are the moments where I smile the biggest. 

My biggest concern with the future is diversity being a trend, and POC getting shunned out of Hollywood and the remaining will be forced to tell only white stories again. I consider myself to be a black artist and it would be a shame if I couldn’t really delve deeper into characters like myself, simply… Read More @thewittygirl: What is your biggest concern with the future?
