Introduce Yourself : Hello creatives! by Angela Edmond

I'm Angela and I live in midtown Atlanta. When I first found this site a few years ago, I had no idea what an incredible resource I'd stumbled on. At that time I only dreamed about getting back into the arts and being a part of a network like this. I fell in love with movies and acting at a very early age (my mom says that as a 3 year old I'd stand on tables and proclaim that I was going to be a movie star. I've never really stopped doing that). My life revolved around theater during high school and college. I became an intern at the Alliance Theater and planned to pursue a career as an actor when I took a short corporate detour. Next thing I knew I'd spent 20+ years in financial services and education and started my own logistics business (which is a flexible job and I still do it to earn money to support my movie habit). During that time I did a little theater, a couple of student films and I kept watching movies. It's really difficult to put together a short list of favorites since there are so many movies I love for so many reasons - Being There, Gone With the Wind, The Thin Man, Notorious, Chameleon Street, Manon of the Spring... In 2013, I was fortunate enough to meet a cinematographer and musician who worked with me to make Ms. Glo, my first documentary and I just posted the trailer for it (not sure if I'm supposed to?). I learned a great deal about the collaborative process of making an independent film and look forward to working with fun, talented folks like yourselves to entertain, inspire, and uplift audiences!
