I grew up in the 90’s watching MTV around the clock when music videos were still being played. I would set up my VCR to record my favorite music videos. The combination of film and music has always called to me. So it was no surprise that when I decided to become a filmmaker my first projects have been music videos. I have collaborated four times with pop punk group Fatty Cakes and the Puff Pastries, and just recently finished filming with punk icon Alice Bag for her upcoming album. Music videos have been the jump off point but I am ready to transition into narrative filmmaking. Writing a script requires a lot time and patience and the idea of creating a character or a story I have yet to see on film is exciting. But I am aware of the obstacles filmmakers come across when trying to get their stories out there, especially stories that center Black women. This where the idea for starting a film production company keeps tugging at me. The task seems daunting but with a well thought out business model I am seeing the possibilities.
