Actors — if you’re doing everything “right” and still waiting… this is for you.

Waiting for permission.
Waiting for the audition that changes things.
Waiting to be chosen.

Here’s what I know — because I’ve lived it.

I’ve been a filmmaker as long as I’ve been an actor. I’ve starred in, produced, and directed 20+ short films and 2 features. The work I created for myself is the work that moved my career — leading to multiple Best Actress nominations and wins.

And I’ve done this with my students, too.
Seven Southwest Scene Works students have gone on to win awards and nominations for acting in films they produced.

The difference isn’t talent.
It’s authorship.

That’s why I created Own the Frame — a 6-week actor-filmmaker intensive where you make the film that moves your career forward.
