Tell us your backstory. How and why did you get into filmmaking?
Believe it or not, I started my professional career as a college football coach. After coaching for five years, I realized I liked my job but didn’t love it. My heart wasn’t into it 100%. Thus, I did some soul searching and headed in the direction of what wasn’t “work” to me and that turned out to be acting.
What’s harder? Getting started or being able to keep going? And what drives you to continue making films? Well when you start that feels like the hardest thing because you have no map and you are all full of fear and “what ifs” and at the same time this hubris of inexperience that gives you a confidence and optimism to get started in the first place. – Learn more about filmmaker Vanessa Roth here.
