In November I attended the Seattle Film Summit as a member of the board of directors for the Spokane Film Project. Having time to meet with writers, directors and producers has given me so much inspiration and direction in my own filmmaking endeavors. I have been working on two screenplays that I will be going into production on this winter.
I have done a fair amount of documentary work in the past but working with actors is a new experience as I expand into writing and directing. Recently I started working on a portfolio of actor headshots. To get started I called upon an old friend who is an accomplished actor and did my first character study in the studio.
After Jhon showed his agent I was asked to be on the preferred photographer list for the talent agency MAM which has offices in Seattle and Spokane. Since then I have had the opportunity to do more actor portfolios and have been creating look books.
I am grateful for these diverse experiences and for my friendships within the filmmaking community. I will have some exciting news early next year about these film projects and upcoming partnerships and collaborations!
