Introduce Yourself : First Time Director by Ace Steele

Ace Steele

First Time Director

Hi everyone! My name is Ace and I'm a senior at Minnesota State University Moorhead. I'm majoring in Film Production with a minor in Film Studies. This year, I have the privilege of directing a film I co-wrote with my friend titled Close to Home. This is a narrative film about the LGBT community and the importance of acceptance within the community. As a member of the LGBT community, this does indeed hit "close to home" as I myself have gone through the agonizing process of coming out to everyone around me. I'm excited to say we start production in 4 weeks!! I'm thankful for everyone's support and can't wait to see this through till the end.

Hi Ace. I'm so excited for you! Good luck with Close to Home! There's a huge community waitng here to help you and cheer for you. Reach out in the different Lounges. I just watched a webinar (it's under education if you're interested) on producing with indie producer Jim Young. He's doing a class soon. It's not taking many people, but will I think walk you through every single step of production from prep to post to delivery. Check it out. Or contact their education guy Harrison at h.glaser@stage32.com
