(April 2025)
Spring has officially sprung! What’s new for me:
- The CBS Leadership Pipeline Challenge is back in full swing! As their Production Consultant and one of their educators, I’m hard at work coordinating partnerships, meeting with the filmmakers, and teaching sessions on planning and producing impact-driven short films that feel expensive on minimal budgets
- I’m headed back to my old MFA program, the LIU-Brooklyn TV Writer’s Studio, as a guest lecturer to teach the latest cohort about pitching and pitch decks, in early April
- I had an amazing time teaching crowdfunding for the Bronx Council of the Arts in March
- Forced Proximity, my romance novel newsletter, is still going strong! I recently had the opportunity to publish an interview with indie historical author Aydra Richards
