HUSTLE. Not the hustle to make ends meet, we all know about that. I’m talking about the hustle to make your movie. The days when you’d rather pray for death than think about the eighty million things that need to go right in order for you to get that one important shot, the moments when […]

FOCUS. You. Yes, you. Stop trying to do every job on your project. Build a team that will stick by you, do their jobs, and let you do yours. When you don’t give up control over something you can’t handle, the thing you actually are good at will suffer. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’ve made […]

LIMITS. Know your own. Know others’. And don’t ever let someone try to make you go beyond yours if it’ll hurt you. Oh, and learn from my mistakes, y’all. I didn’t set limits for something, and I pay for it every day. Yeesh.

TIME. Listen, I know a lot of people don’t necessarily respect my time once I leave the office. They assume that I can just float around and wait for them to do things, and that I don’t actually need to sleep. Or do laundry. Or go to the grocery store. Or clean my room. But […]

GRATITUDE. Guys, I am so happy right now. It’s weird, isn’t it – you work your whole life trying to get to a spot where you get paid to do something you love, and then when you get there, you look around and almost don’t know what to do with all the awesome. So take […]

INSPIRATION. Wherever you are, anywhere you look, there are moments that can spark a thought – and some of those thoughts can turn into the inspiration you need to change your life and become who you truly want to be. So don’t ignore those tiny moments. Don’t live life passively. Allow yourself to think, and […]

ACTUAL LADIES WHO ARE ACTUALLY FILMING. A very special, totally unedited, completely insane, entirely uncensored gabfest with two budding filmmakers who are taking a huge first step – they are making their first real short film, with real cast, and are REALLY passionate about their art. It’s so exciting to see these two smart young […]

FREELANCE. There is nothing quite like knowing that you can choose to work only on the projects you believe in, or want to work on, or care about. That kind of freedom is invaluable. But with that freedom comes the harsh reality that there will be many, many months full of work but zero pay. […]

CROSSROADS. Relationships are hard, yo. And let me tell you, they can be even harder when you’re dating someone over a decade younger (or older) than you. I’ve seen things go horribly awry for my friends who seem perfectly matched in every way but age difference, and when we talk about it later, it becomes […]

WORK AS THERAPY. Here’s the thing: this year has started out pretty rough for some us, personally as well as socially and professionally. I get it. It’s been hard. But the world keeps spinning and for some reason, other people expect you to keep going, too. So when you find yourself feeling like the […]
