Do the Yes’s outweigh the No’s??
Some days are rough.
Some days you know in your soul, in your gut, that you are going to bring forth everything you’ve ever dreamed of. And some days, you have to talk yourself outta just packing up and heading home.
The No’s
*Sigh*Scrapbooks didnt get into Tribeca. Damn. That’s like 4 festivals. A waste of money.
Beverly Hills Shorts said no, Atlanta said no, Tribeca, and the Black Maria. Waiting to hear from Hollywood Black Film Festival and LA Film fest. Still have to submit to Chicago REEL Shorts, Naperville, Martha’s Vineyard and a few more.
In the meantime I am going broke!!!
The Yes’s:
REEL Ladies is really taking off! I spoke with Euzhan Palcy. She was the first black women to direct a feature film. She told me to call her back after the 20th because she was travelling. WOW. I told her about REEL Ladies and that we wanted to spotlight her, she said YES! WhoooHoo!
Got an email back from Tanya Kersey’s publicist and she is able to do the radio show Thursday Evening!!! She is the founder/creator of the Hollywood Black Film Festival.
OH….and Taraji Henson’s publicist said Taraji is out of town right now filming Tyler Perry’s movie, but contact her in April and we can set something up!! YAY
*sidenote* why aren’t I out filming Tyler Perry’s movie??? damnit. here comes that old self doubt demon.
So do the yes’s outweigh the no’s? Not really. REEL Ladies is a side thing. My “side project” has more doors opening than my acting career. That’s sad. I haven’t booked a project, short film, commercial, feature…NOTHING in like 3 months. AAAGGGHHH! So we are going to see what happens. The strike is over. Got new headshots, signed with two new agencies. Next step is finding a manager. SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT. Somebody has to say yes right?? If Taraji can say yes, if Ms. Palcy can say yes, if Tanya Kersey can say yes, then damnit, a producer a casting director can say yes too right? How hard is it to form your mouth to say the word….not that hard at all….back to the drawing board

with the psychotic ambition you have, you are bound to make it. It is so easy to get discouraged by no, but that’s all part of the game, see where you want it to go and it will get there you seem to have it all together! And trust yourself, fully and completely only you know how to ride this train-life! Good luck, it’s good to see positivity out there! and take care!
