It’s not who I am, it’s just what I do!
I’m happy to share that I am on the cover of the Build.com 2016 fall catalog! I grabbed some screen shots below from the PDF version of the catalog. It’s me with my pretend family..and dog!
I traveled out to Chico for this one day shoot, since that’s where build.com is located. Thanks to NYLO for booking this for me. Good times!
This past week I was lucky enough to host the inaugural Women Sports Film Festival in Oakland at The New Parkway theater. It was an incredibly fun vibe and I had the pleasure of introducing and moderating the post-screening Q&A sessions for 2 of the films.
The festival’s mission is this:
Using the power of documentary film we celebrate female athletes and the filmmakers who bring their stories to the screen.
Kudos to the women who put this event together and I can only see much more success in their future, now that they’ve tapped into a genre and market that’s shine is long overdue.
The opening night documentary was “TRex: Her Fight for Gold,” the story of Flint, Michigan’s Claressa Shields and her journey to an Olympic Gold medal in London 2012. She is now seeking to defend her gold in Rio. It will premiere on PBS, Tuesday, August 2, 2016 s part of the Independent Lens series by ITVS.
The other documentary screening I hosted was “Althea,” about tennis champion Althea Gibson. She was the first African-American to play at Wimbledon and Forest Hills. Both of these documentaries are well worth the watch!
Now, I can’t wait to do it all again next year!
