@boybandfangirl @tricoastworldwide: Why did you decide to work in this industry? Growing up I thought I wanted to be an author, a teacher or a journalist. In a way I feel like being a documentary filmmaker is a kind of combination of all three of those. I studied fiction filmmaking, but I love listening to… Read More @boybandfangirl @tricoastworldwide: Why

Getting another movie made. Creating a TV series. Getting my new play up and running. I’m always working on numerous projects. I’m rewriting a script I wrote years ago to update it and do a gender switch – since stories about women are being produced now. I’m also trying to pitch my movies to companies… Read More Getting another movie made. Creating a T

What advice do you have for other women in the industry? If you believe in your project – never give up!

What is a successful moment in your career so far? Writing for TV Series. Producing a film after it was optioned 8 times by Hollywood and never made. I finally decided “no more options.” I went out and raised the money and within 6 months we were in pre-production, casting and MAKING THE FILM! It’s… Read More What is a successful moment in your care

What is your biggest concern with the future? Getting more of my movies made… before I die! Hollywood has a lot of sexism and ageism. It’s always been more difficult for women to get work – and if you’re over 35 years old, it’s hard to get work as a writer. However, I keep reinventing… Read More What is your biggest concern with the fu

What’s a defining moment in your life? When I quit my science job to go into show business/ and later when I moved from NY to LA.

@chantelclark: What, if anything, do you collect? Books. They’re everywhere in my apartment including in my kitchen cabinets (for context, I live in New York). I like to buy a book every time I visit somewhere new and when I go home, I stock up on South African titles that are harder to find here.… Read More @chantelclark: What, if anything, do you
