Probably when I moved to LA from New York. I was born in New York, I went to college there and it holds a big place in my heart, especially Brooklyn. But it was time for change. I resisted it for a long time. Moving to LA was like making a tangible choice to commit… Read More @azure_rue: What’s a defining moment in your life?

When I decided to become a filmmaker I wasn’t really thinking about “the industry,” I just wanted to tell stories. Both my parents are in the industry – my Dad’s a writer and my Mom was an actress, but I didn’t really equate that with what I wanted to do. I loved taking pictures and… Read More @azure_rue: Why did you decide to get into this industry?

All of my social media is “Sanicole”….you can find me around. Right now, I’m writing my next draft on a indie UNTITLED tv/film project. I’m still cooking but updates are always on my social media! Please feel free to stop by and show me love! Peace

When black women are hired, we’re believed to be capable of the job but… Read More @sanicole: What is your biggest concern with the future?

For me, it’s was the call from HBO in 2018. My short film “SIDE EFFECTS” was in the top 20 for the ABFF HBO competition. I didn’t make the top 10 but the call, in hindsight, was refreshing. I realized that I made something, that started as a thought, that was seen and acknowledged by… Read More @sanicole: What’s a defining moment in your life?
