If They Won't Cast You, Write and Direct It! | Creative Struggles | S2 Ep.7

In this episode of Creative Struggles, I sit down with an actor, writer, producer, and emerging director who's stepping into full creative ownership. After writing her feature film, she made the decision to direct it herself. We talk about leadership, imposter syndrome, funding, and what it really means to stop waiting and start building the vision.
