It was May of 2016 and another creative project I was featured in was stalled out and in the dust bin! The comedy short was called "That's Opportunity Knocking". As an actor, these blows are devastating. But a friend at my "day job" told me about her short she was submitting via Film Freeway. I said to myself, "I have a comedy short!" and started looking for HOW! I watched Stage 32's Next Level Education course "Is there a market for you short film?" by David Paterson which gave me tips and suggestions and in just ONE MONTH, we were in and winning film festivals! To date, we have won 8 awards and are already in 5 Film Festivals for 2017! And you want to know my "secret"? It's called working the work. Your work only BEGINS when you get a film completed and into festivals! The "selling" of the work is always the toughest for creatives! I know I've been out in the trenches selling my acting, my scripts, books and now films. It's always work, Work, WORK!
Success Stories: JAN'3 I took a project out of the trash can and succeeded!
