I’m sitting across from my acting coach telling him how I quit my day job because I finally have momentum as a working actor . . . only to find out, surprise! I’m pregnant. And with my belly starting to show, all of my auditions have stopped.
He’s patiently listening . . . and then . . . he asks me to produce a $1 million feature film with him.
WHA???? ME?!?
Turns out, my side hustle of producing shorts, pilots and sizzles made him believe in my ability to get things done.
That night I buy the best “How To Make a Movie” book I can find so that I can fake it til I make it and try not fail miserably.
The moral to the story . . .
Sometimes, it just takes somebody else to see you. My coach saw me. And we became producing partners. You might need somebody to see something in you and I would love to help with that.
