Hello Everyone,
I hope all is well as I have been extremely busy the last few months with projects, scripts, visual deck, and even just closed an outdoor live performance of Children of a Lesser God where I was a director, director of artistic sign language and had to take on the lead due to the last minute back out. This shows how dedicated I am to theatre and films.
Now, I am back to my home base looking at my projects, moving things forward as will only work with passionate, dedicated folks which I noticed folks at mainly "talks," we need more "actions" within the industry. And folks to be openminded, eyes, and heart to authenticity, diversity, and inclusion projects which the industry, network, studios, directors, and even audience crave for them. This is where I come in as a screenwriter because as an actor I didn't want to wait for opportunities... I create them. I have a complete TV Series and a Film script ready to go. They both have never been done, seen and both are written authentically by a screenwriter who experienced them. There is a saying "You have to be Deaf to understand" well it is true, which is why it is very powerful. It's time!
Not to forget to mention, my tiny film webseries, REAL has been a hit in Film Festivals. Grand Prize Winner, Winner for Audience Choice in Representation, the Finalist, and Best Original Script. It is pure authentic and diversity webseries which the filmmakers and I will film the rest of the Season in 2022 and look for distrubtors to release the entire Season. The audience has been asking for more episodes!
As an actor, I am always looking for challenging roles in theatre, films and tv!
Check my website out, www.michellemaryschaefer.com. As indicate on my website I do have an UK agent. I also do have an agent in Sydney, and the US. So, if you are interested then let's talk! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Have a lovely day, stay safe and creative!
