Speaker 1: So before we get into tea on everything screenwriting and

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: creative production wise, let's get into what you were eating

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: long before the accolades.

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: So this is pork and beans and cheese. I considered

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: this a Daniel's delicacy. That's my grandmother's family. I don't

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: really know people that like couldbine pork and beans with

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: scheddar cheese. Like I would go out to places because

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: we usually eat this for breakfast, and I would go

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: out to places and I look at the menu, I'm like,

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: where's the pork and beans and cheese. I think it's

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: just my family that does this.

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: Definitely, I didn't even know that. I didn't even know

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: that was a breakfast thing.

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, we used to eat this for breakfast. Sometimes

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: we would have like other things like eggs, grets, but

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: sometimes it'll be just that bacon in a.

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: Biscuit, bacon and a biscuit. Porkan beans. Now I was

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: talking best before the carat started rolling, So go ahead

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: and tell everybody the difference between pork and beans and

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: baked beans.

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: So porking beans, it's not it doesn't have that like

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: sweet taste like the baked beans, the butsh or whatever

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: I can, so, yeah, it doesn't have that sweet taste.

34
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: But it's a tomato sauce. So yeah, I feel like

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: that's the big.

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to Brokeville. And so when we got

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the dish with ingredients, I said pork and beans. And

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: then I was like, okay, do baked beans come with

39
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: hot dogs? And then I said, where is she talking

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: about pork and beans? And then lo and behold, there

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: is a can in the world that says pork and beans.

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: And so now we are the proud owners and recipients

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: of a dish that I can honestly say, I don't think.

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: I've ever heard. Yeah, I think it's just my family

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: that does this because every time I go out I'm

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: from Virginia, but my family is from North Carolina, and

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: I feel like we're the only ones that does this

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: for breakfast.

49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: None of your friends did it.

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: No, That's why I'm like, I don't think it's like

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: a known thing.

52
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: And then she's dropping the cheese, so her your dish

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: is essentially like three dollars. Yep, it could feed at

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: least three to four people. And she's the most expensive dish.

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: Yep.

56
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: The expensive ingredient in it.

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: I see. And it's protein, so you got to be.

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: And it's protein. Oh are you trying to say that

59
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: this dish is considered healthy?

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: I love that optimisticness. The protein counts for something, So yeah,

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna turn this up.

62
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: So either this is a family tradition or you guys

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: were really struggling at some point and you guys did not.

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: My grandmother got it from her mom, and her mom

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: had ten kids, so maybe, yeah.

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh this is your grandma. You said your grandma's mom

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: was struggling. She passed the tradition on, which is a

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: beautiful tradition. I'm just in a joking move, but I

69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: love this dish because I love to say the broke

70
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: with the dish, the better the story. Yeah, but in

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: your case, this is a household Now.

72
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: We thought this was like something like it was up

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: there with grits.

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Wow. What was the last time you had this?

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: Probably when I was back home in Virginia. I think

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: my grandma made some or my mom made it. Yeah,

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,920

Speaker 1: way back, way back, not recent home visits.

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Way back in Virginia. I was a product of a

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: single my disk, so we just spent a lot of

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: time at my house. We used to live there practically

97
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: for most of my life. So it used to be

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: six of us at a time in a two bedroom,

99
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: one bedroom house.

100
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: Wait, how many kids?

101
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: Just me and my brother? And so its me and

102
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: my brother, my mom, my uncle, and my grandparents. Okay,

103
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: all in one house. Oh yeah, you all lived together

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: for the most of my adolacing years. We all stayed

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: in the same house in new Port News.

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, your mom was working a lot of jobs or.

107
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: I think got the most. She probably worked like three jobs,

108
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: which is probably where I get it from.

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, two parent household? Where was pops

110
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: to two parent household?

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know where he was at, but I ain't

112
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: gonna say he wasn't, Like at one point we were

113
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: living together, but I really we really didn't have a

114
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: relationship with him. So he was around, he was in

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: the area, but we ain't see him.

116
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: Guys didn't see him at all, really, but y'all knew

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: who he was.

118
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew who he was, Yeah, you knew who

119
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: we were and that was that.

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Did your mom ever speak on it?

121
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: She's trying not to like really talk bad like down

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: on him. Even my grandma, like they never try to

123
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: talk down on him. Like we knew what it was like.

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: They ain't have to say nothing because it was actions

125
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: speak out than words.

126
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you ever have a longing for him or anything?

127
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: You know what?

128
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: I grew up in a house where even though we

129
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: ain't have much, it was felt like I didn't really

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: miss as much. And then I grew up in like

131
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: an area where a lot of people like had some

132
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: come from some wilar situation. So it was like, that's

133
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: it is what it is. It wasn't until I got

134
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: older then I'm like, oh, okay, when I seen other people,

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: they had their two parent households, different things like that. Okay,

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: I did miss out on something, but when I was

137
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: growing up, I really it wasn't really like something at

138
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: the top of my mind for real.

139
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's good to know.

140
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 3: So you growing up with a family full of love

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: in pork and beans, and somewhere along the journey you

142
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 3: aspired to be on the other side of the television

143
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: but what sparked that inspiration.

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: So my uncle he used to have this huge collection

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: of DVDs in the living room, mostly like black Cinema,

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: like the Spike Lee Best Man, all that different type

147
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: of stuff, and that was like my I would consider

148
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: my intro to like cinema. And I didn't know at

149
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: the time that I wanted to get into film and TV.

150
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: I knew I wanted to do something like in the

151
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: arts and in that world because I used to draw

152
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: a lot and different things of that nature. But that

153
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: was like my early film school because I watched all

154
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: the films that you could think of. Some of the

155
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: films I probably ain't had no business watching, like Players

156
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: Club all that type of stuff, ice Cube movies, and

157
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: yet I was like my early introduction to like film

158
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: and different things of that nature. And we also used

159
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: to watch like upn all the sitcoms back in the day.

160
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: I used to go back and watch ninety six comms

161
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: with him and my mom and different things that would

162
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: come on television.

163
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Would you say that it wasn't just like what you're watching,

164
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: but the good vives of what it was doing to

165
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: your family, like a family pass hour.

166
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it brought us together, like all get in the

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: living room like on weeknights and watch like The Parkers

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: or One on one and different things of that nature.

169
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: So, yeah, at what point do you start to say

170
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I like this enough to pursue it or even think

171
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a viable option.

172
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: So in middle school I went to this It had

173
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: this art slash communications program, and then we had like

174
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: our own studio where we used to do like the

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: morning announcement and we used to do like different shows.

176
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: And it was an actual class too. So I feel

177
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: like that class, out of all of my classes, I

178
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: really like, and like we used to do a lot

179
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: of different things in there, and I'm like, this is

180
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: what I want to do. I ain't really care about

181
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: going to math or other things. I wanted to do this.

182
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Did you start sharing these feelings with your family.

183
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: Yes, And they were pretty much just go for whatever

184
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: you want to do. It wasn't like discouraging, oh no,

185
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: you need to do this, like Yeah, they were pretty

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: much get you a job. Yeah.

187
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: But did they make you lean towards college.

188
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: Yes. It was either college or the military because it

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: was a big like military in Virginia, and I chose

190
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: college because I was not going to the military.

191
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Was any of your family members in the military.

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 2: A lot of people.

193
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: Not your mom though, No, not my mom. Okay, So,

194
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: by the way, this is looking very gooey and good.

195
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: Is that what it's supposed to look like? It looks

196
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: pretty good.

197
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we got It's not as quite as

198
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: my grandma's, but we got a good consistency going. And

199
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: I think crackers.

200
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I feel like this would go go with some saltine.

201
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: Oh, we used to just eat us for breakfast.

202
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: It looks good.

203
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

204
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: I can see the cheese and the tomato sauce going

205
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: well together.

206
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's about dying.

207
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Look at you, I think grandma.

208
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me check, because I don't want you

209
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: to get no big chunk of cheese.

210
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I was eating chunks before. I

211
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: had fifteen chunks in my cup and you need a bowl. Yeah,

212
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: go ahead. So you decide, Hey, I'm going to pursue this.

213
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to college because military seems probably possible.

214
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: Dance absolutely not. I was not going to the military.

215
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: That's good. And so you go into college and then

216
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: what are you majoring in college?

217
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: In high school I did a lot of reporting sideline

218
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: reporting and different things of that nature. So oh, let

219
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: me go to journalism route. So I'm major. My concentration

220
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: was journalism, but my major on my degree it says

221
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: degree in Media Journalism and Film because we took all

222
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: different types of classes.

223
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, at what point during this are you like, Okay,

224
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: where did you go to school? You said, Howard? Howard,

225
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: So I will come on, fill up a chair. We're

226
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: going to do a taste test on this. Chairs, let's

227
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: try this together.

228
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to burn my mouth.

229
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: You're right, and it's not really baked being ish, but

230
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: there is a little sweetness to it.

231
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit, not a lot.

232
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if I could taste the cheese,

233
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: but I feel like I can't, but I could feel

234
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: the texture of cheese. Am I tripping?

235
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: Nope?

236
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: For all y'all at home, I highly do not recommend this.

237
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: This. This is a three and a half and not

238
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: a three and a half.

239
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: We'll say, if you are starving and you need a

240
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: filling meal.

241
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: Oh, it's gonna fill you up.

242
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a cheese after taste and you need

243
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: this all the time growing up.

244
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: It's not terrible but on all the eating while broke.

245
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: This is.

246
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: This is broke broke eating while I broke broke.

247
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: What I like about this is the first time we've

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: had it. And I almost hooked you up with baked beans.

249
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: I promise you if you go in the back kitchen,

250
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: there's a can of baked beans.

Speaker 1: This is a one and donners. But I love that

254
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: you came with this dish because it's unique and it's broke.

255
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: We've had guests that come on and they have somehow

256
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: they've tallied up one hundred dollars grocery bill, and I'm like, yeah,

257
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,680

258
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, no, Like I said, it was six

259
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,000

260
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: We have to make it work.

261
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: So you decide to major in.

262
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: Media film broadcast journalism yep, and from there you graduate.

263
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: What's your next play?

264
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: Senior year? No, I would let me get it back, Okay,

265
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: I would go back to maybe like junior or senior year,

266
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: maybe sophomore year. Oh, it's all a blur. But I

267
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: decided I didn't want to do journalism anymore. But it

268
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: was too late in my matriculation to change my major.

269
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: So I started taking playwriting classes and the Fine Art

270
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: School and screenwriting. I took that later my senior year,

271
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know what, I just want

272
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: to get into the entertainment side and that the news.

273
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: So like I would skip classes to go pa on

274
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: different television specials in Dcy. Okay, Yeah, I would just

275
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: try to like find different things to do intern and

276
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: that kind of got me into wanting to do more

277
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: of the entertainment side. So like my senior year, I

278
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: just got it. I was trying to get into this

279
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,920

282
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: BT didn't get not one internship from them, And so

283
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: then I was like, I think I was sick. One

284
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: day in my dorm and I was just scanning through

285
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: the channels because we didn't have cables, so I would

286
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: just scan through the channels trying to find something to watch,

287
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: and I came across the Bounce okay, and I was like, Okay,

00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: what's this. They remind me like of the early two

289
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: thousands upn type of vibe. I looked them up and

290
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: so I just sent the email to a random general

291
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000

317
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: from DC to Atlanta.

318
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: But how are you gonna survive in Atlanta?

319
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: So I was able to find a place that kind

320
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: of fell through. So I wasn't homeless. I was of

321
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: a home, and so I knew somebody down there and

322
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: it was like, Hey, just come stay with me and

323
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna figure it out. So I want to stay

324
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: with them. They had a friend that was staying in

325
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: like this off off campus student housing and she was like, yeah,

326
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: just pretend like you're meet for the summer and you'll

327
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: be fine. So that's how I pretend like I was

328
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: her for the summer, and I stayed at her off

329
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: campus housing.

330
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Oh there was a term you used in that you

331
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: said you weren't homeless, but you wasn't.

332
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: I was of a home, so yeah, so I just

333
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: slept on a couch And that's hilarious. I love that.

334
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: I love that.

335
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: I just wanted to Yeah.

336
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't on the street, but I was in somebody

337
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: else's home.

338
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: There wasn't OK and they looked out that he didn't

339
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: have to break her off anything. She just looked out, No,

340
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: she just said, look, I ain't trying to stay here.

341
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: You can pay me. I think it was like seven

342
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: hundred a month and I was only there for two months.

343
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,440

345
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: she had. They had like kitchen and the living room

346
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: and everything, and I think she only had one other

347
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: roommate on the other side. I think the other two

348
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: were like gone for the summer.

349
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Oh so it was a sweet look. Yeah, so for

00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: two months, what happens once the two months are.

00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: Up though, So the two months was up, the internship

00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: I did have a conversation with my direct report, like

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: the boss I was working for, about wanting to come

355
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: back if they had any opportunity, So I would say maybe.

356
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: Around September, I came back to Atlanta as a temp

357
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: for the department. It was the original programming department, and

358
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: that temporary position was only posed to last until February.

359
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: Before February could come, they offered me a full time position.

360
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, So then you're officially in Atlanta, yep, and

00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: So then what happens from there?

363
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: Just grinding, trying to learn everything. And one thing that

00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: my boss at the time stress was I get to

00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: know every department head, everybody that work in the department.

366
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: So I spent most of my internship trying to learn

367
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: the different departments and how they work with our department,

368
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: not just staying isolated. So it was a lot of

369
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: that and just working on different shows. At the time,

370
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 2: they didn't have a big post production department, so I

371
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: was helping out with posts. I was reading scripts and

372
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: different things, and yeah, just grinding it out, getting up early,

373
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: catching the bus, then catching the trains so I can

00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:18,880

377
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: twenty two. It happened before Hayboo, or it happened after

378
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: Hayboo after.

379
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. But mind your businesses would bounce right, Okay,

380
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: So I don't want to skip over, Okay, then go

381
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: hey Boo first.

382
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I go hay booth while I'm in Atlanta. I

383
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: really didn't know a lot of people there, so I

384
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: mainly just like in my free time, right try working

385
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: on my craft in different things. And then I was

386
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: applying to all of these fellowships Disney, NBC like they

387
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 2: all had these fellowships, and then the smaller fellowships, and

388
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: then I came across.

389
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: What's a fellowship.

390
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: So a fellowship is basically they take a group of writers,

391
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: they bring them in. You do it from workshops. Sometimes

392
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: it's paid, and you just get immersed into the whole

393
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: right inside of that level. And then after the fellowship

394
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: you should have something like already finished or you're developing something,

395
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: or you can use whatever you worked on as a

396
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: sample to get staff on like a show. So that

397
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: was like what I really wanted to do, instead of

398
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: going like the writer's PA route and going to writers Assistant,

399
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: I wanted to get into a fellowship. So I just

400
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: kept applying, got rejected every year by all of them,

401
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: and then I started applying to like smaller ones, and

402
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 2: then I came across Heartbeat. I applied one year, I

403
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: didn't get it, and that was I think that was

404
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: the first year. And then the second year, I almost

405
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: forgot about applying it to it until a coworker told

406
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: me like, hey, are you gonna apply to this Heartbeat Fellowship?

407
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: I was like, oh yeah, and I put it off

408
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: and then it was like, up, the deadline's here. So

409
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: I heard up and rolled a skip and that's what

410
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: I submitted.

411
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: And then they accepted it and you did you want?

412
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: How did it work?

413
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: So basic? They narrowed it down to people that they

414
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: wanted to interview. So I did an interview with one

415
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: of the co founders of the program, Candice, and also

416
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: the program manager, which was Jennifer at the time, and

417
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: so we did an interview and then after that kind

418
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: of was just waiting to see and then I remember

419
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: it was like before my birthday or either on my birthday,

420
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: Jennifer had called me. She was like, hey, so what

421
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: is your schedule looking like for this? Then? And the

422
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: third I'm like, why would she be in that? And

423
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: so then I think, like the day before my birthday

424
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: I found out I got the fellowship?

425
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: Nice, yep, how long was the fellowship?

426
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: The fellowship was for a year, but the writers strike

427
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 2: cut that year little short.

428
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, so then what happens from there, Britt,

429
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: is this when you start to think about Habu?

430
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: So Habu was with the Fellowship.

431
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: Oh, Habu was what you submitted?

432
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Habu was what I submitted, and it just after that,

433
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: it probably went like through a couple of rounds of

434
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: notes with them and then the director logan and yeah,

435
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: after that they went to shooting it. So I came

436
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: out here for that shoot. I was flying back and

437
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: forth a lot from Atlanta to la from my job

438
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: and then for Haybow different things that they wanted to

439
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: do with the Fellowship. And once Habu was shot, I

440
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: was working on the show at Bounce called Accurate Age.

441
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: We were on set and me and one of my

442
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: coworkers we were talking about, Okay, we got Accurate Age,

443
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: but what else are we going to be working on.

444
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 2: What's going to be like the Companion show to this?

445
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: What other programming? And so we was like, okay, let's

446
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: start brainstorming and thinking of a show to go with

447
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: this or to like air after this. So we had

448
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: something in the bank.

449
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: And this wasn't something This wasn't a part of your job,

450
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: right this is so I was on the.

451
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: Development team and we Accurate Age was developed in house,

452
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 2: So do develop ideas in house and just outsource to

453
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: a production company bring it to life. So it was

454
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: a part of my job, but like really taking this

455
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: INITIATI was but my pay grade. Like but we was like, hey,

456
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: we need something to do because like, yeah we need

457
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: a job. Yeah, we need to show reps. And then

458
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: just going back to getting no different departments like they

459
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: were saying like like the older sitcoms are performing well,

460
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: like on the streaming platforms and on our fast channels,

461
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: Like it would be nice if we could get something

462
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: of that same wheelhouse. So we put our brains together

463
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 2: and that's how we came up. It was called Family

464
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: Affair before it became maya business. Yeah, and then you

465
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: pitch it yeah, So we pitched it too. I made

466
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: sure all the team was on the call. Wasn't like

467
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: a certain intervie. I was like, I want the whole

468
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: original team on a call, and I need I to

469
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: pull people to the south. I need you to pack

470
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: me up on it. And so we pitched it to them.

471
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: They loved it, and so our next step was to

472
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: find a writer to write the pilot episode. And if

473
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: the pilot episode, like the script was good enough. Then

474
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: they were green lighted.

475
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: And when they greenlighted, what does that mean, Like you

476
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: sold your first show? Yeah, it basically mean you were

477
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: going to series, Like, yeah, what was that ex experience

478
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: like for you? So when they did greenlight it, I

479
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: was no longer at Bounce. I left Bounce to go

480
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: to Fuse because I was now out here living in

481
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: LA and at the time, I was just a senior

482
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: coordinator at Bounce, but the money that I was making

483
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: was more so affordable for Atlanta in that LA and

484
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: then there were a whole bunch of layoff talks. So

485
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to find another way to

486
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: make more money, and this is not it. So I

487
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: left Bounce to go to Fuse, and I also left

488
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: to really go ham on my writing. And then that's

489
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: when the strikes happened. But you were also doing the

490
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Heartbeat Fellowship.

491
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Heartbeat Fellowship Sundance that all happened.

492
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you got a lot of overlap, a lot

493
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: of overlaps. When you leave, they still have the rights

494
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: to buy mind your business.

495
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: Yes, So when you work for a network and you

496
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: pitch ideas internally.

497
00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: They own the idea. Yeah, Womb Womb like, I can't there.

498
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: They own it because you pitched it while you were

499
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: an employee. Yeah, so if you would have left and

500
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: then pitched it, then I would own it. So they

501
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: own it.

502
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 2: But that's the whole point. I feel like that's the

503
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: reason why they really wanted to do the show, because

504
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, we got this internal idea that we

505
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: can hold on to and we can take out and license,

506
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: like don't but it ended up being a top show

507
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: for them. Yep.

508
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: So you knowing that, is there a part of you

509
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: that thinks also that maybe you walking in some of

510
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: the talks or the rhetoric that was going on, could

511
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: have because if you would have stayed as an employee,

512
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: what would you have gotten after pitching that show? Nothing?

513
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: Nothing but working long hours on the show and still

514
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: making my salary. That's crazy.

515
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that should be allowed for real.

516
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like two far. I know certain networks they

517
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: may break you off a little something extra if you

518
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 2: it's just.

519
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: Gave them like more than what they invested in you, basically, Yeah,

520
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: and you're cool with that. Earth how do you feel? So?

521
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: I was a little salty because it was like I

522
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: was supposed to. When I left the company. We had

523
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: conversations before, Hey, you can come back as a consultant.

524
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: This is your show that you created and that didn't

525
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: happen because of budget cuts and the strike.

526
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: But it's also one of their top performing shows. Yeah, yes,

527
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: be super salty. Yeah, so I just look at it

528
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: like this way. If I can create that show, I

529
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: can do another one. So I'm past it now. Yeah,

530
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: But like at the time, I was very Yeah, I'm

531
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: still trying to get past it, but it.

532
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: Was very salty. But I just that's messed up, man.

533
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would be complaining for at least six months.

534
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: And then it was this whole thing about my created

535
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: by credit. I'm like, in my employee agreement it said

536
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: like any idea y'all own. It didn't say nothing about

537
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 2: me not getting my proper credit.

538
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Did they give it to you?

539
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: Yes, they had to give it to me because one

540
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: of the executives that was there when I was there

541
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: at the time, he made sure when we signed the

542
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 2: writer onto write the pilot, he said, hey, all three

543
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: of these ladies are getting created by credit. Put that

544
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: in an agreement.

545
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: The other two ladies there still.

546
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: One is there the other one was like a contract

547
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: work for hire, so she wasn't a full time employee

548
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: with the y'all just giving up your gold. Okay, got it,

549
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: she wasn't, So she was just hired on to be

550
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: the writer and work on the show and be executive

551
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: producer and all of that.

552
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: So we'll shout out to him for fighting for y'all.

553
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I appreciate JJ for doing that because if

554
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: that wasn't there, they probably would have found some way

555
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: to not give us our credit.

556
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, so then you're over at Fused having that Fuseland.

557
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: So Fuse was unscripted, which was I did unscripted that Bounce,

558
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: but Fuse was like a different type of unscripted. So

559
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 2: I'm glad I did get that experience and work on

560
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: different shows, and one of them was Big Freedom Means Business,

561
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: sex sales. We had a sports yeah, we had a

562
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: lovely Yeah. We had a sports show called Like a Girl.

563
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 2: That was cool to see come because we like revamped

564
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: the show while I was there, So that was cool

565
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: to see that come to. And Fruistion and and yeah,

566
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: it was a different type of shows they branded content.

567
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: That was my first time experience with working that in

568
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: depth with branded content. We was exploring different content.

569
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: But you say branded content, what does that mean?

570
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: So let's say Times best company, I want to say

571
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: it out loud decided they want to sponsor on this

572
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: segment of me cooking. Yeah, the porky means and cheese.

573
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: That would be branded branded content.

574
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: Damn, go fuse.

575
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to get.

576
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to get eating while brokenfused at one point,

577
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted us, but yeah, they have

578
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: some good content. That said, they got sex Cells, which

579
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: is pretty good and that's a top show for them, right.

580
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: And I used to watch like the uncut versions before

581
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: they had the edit it for so yeah, it's very

582
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: but it was very interesting too, Like I think it's

583
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: a good concept.

584
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, shout out to the Weeezy. I love her,

585
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: super cool chick. So your affuse, what's the next play?

586
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: I was still trying to pursue my write in, but

587
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: it was it's hard being like post strikes and a

588
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: lot of shows not renewing and like different opportunities and

589
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: then the whole like representation having issues with them. Hey

590
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: can you give me some rooms? Cause like I was

591
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: like using my network to get meetings and trying to

592
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: get my stuff read, and so I was like, Okay,

593
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: maybe I could just write the full length film of

594
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: hay Boo and try to get back into Heartbeat. So

595
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 2: I started like ID eight and what I wanted the

596
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: full length version of Heyboo to look like, and start writing.

597
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: And so now I have a shopping agreement where Heartbeat

598
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: time is winding down, but I'm trying to get it

599
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: somewhere at some studio streamer whoever wants to take it on.

600
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was like my thing of trying to

601
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: get hay Boo, trying to update some of my other

602
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: scripts so when those meetings do come in, I could

603
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: be prepared.

604
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: So how do you get it? At Peacock and two B.

605
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: Peacock and Twoby was all through Heartbeat. That's what their

606
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: whole arrangement as far as like distributing the films and

607
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: that stuff. So we wasn't really involving that part. It

608
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: just said, oh, it's gonna be on Peacock. And then

609
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: one day I was at home and I was on

610
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 2: Toby and I saw it on to I was like,

611
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: oh it's on Toby.

612
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: Too, Oh wow, yes, And then what do those checks

613
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: look like from that standpoint.

614
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: I only got paid once by a heartbeat, and that

615
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: was for the script.

616
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: Then it was a fellowship.

617
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a stipend.

618
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: But they don't own it, right, they own Heybi, this sucks,

619
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: but this is the I love that you're sharing this

620
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: because I think that we all think, Okay, we created something,

621
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: we land this big deal and there's this huge payout

622
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. But this definitely has to be like the

623
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: most roller coaster of emotions ever. Yes, but it's also

624
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: confidence boosting because you're obviously a creator that's able to

625
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: sell amazing content that's getting picked up. The question is

626
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: how do you demand your worth? On the other side,

627
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: you just gotta be what's the word that I can

628
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: use for you just gotta be on it. You gotta

629
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: make sure your representation is on it. Did you have

630
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: representation on both of these accounts?

631
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: No? I got hay boo and did my business all

632
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: by myself. I didn't get representation.

633
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: So after the fact, well, hey boo, you did after

634
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: the fact too. That's interesting.

635
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I say this representation is good to have,

636
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 2: but it's more so knowing people Like if I wasn't

637
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: working within the network, I probably wouldn't have been able

638
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: to get a pitched the show in twenty twenty two,

639
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: and by I want to say, twenty twenty four is

640
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: Aaron on television. And that's because we were working at

641
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: the network and trying to push it through and I

642
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: was on my boss like, hey, do we got disapproved legal?

643
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: So I feel like I had an advantage when I

644
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: was at the network to able to get stuff like

645
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: green lay because that wasn't the first show that I

646
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: pitched and got like a green light. The other one

647
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: I pitched was a game show, but it died in

648
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: like upfront, so I was familiar with how the process work.

649
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: But with this one, like I had the other departments

650
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: backing me up. I felt like that was my advantage.

651
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, I didn't really need representation because I was

652
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: already in the system.

653
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: But do you think that was a plus or negative?

654
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: Because on one end, it's a plus because it got

655
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: your stuff pushed further and you know what they're looking

656
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: for on both sides of the camera now, right, so

657
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: you can consider yourself like a double threat, triple threat, right.

658
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: But on the downside, there's a little bit of for

659
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: lack of better word, it just seems like a little

660
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: bit of a dog eat dog because yeah, because of

661
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: the affiliation of the network.

662
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's, uh, you gotta you win some and

663
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: you lose some. So you just got to take into

664
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: accounts like, hey, you need to get a credit, but

665
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: how are you gonna go about getting that credit? You

666
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: get that credit, that'll take you up a notch. So

667
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: when you do go out on your own, at least

668
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: you have something versus than having nothing.

669
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wasn't trying to cut you off.

670
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, go ahead.

671
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: What would you say, is your next play after everything you've.

672
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: Learned, after everything I learned? My next play? I'm sorry, y'all.

673
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: I'm not used to doing interviews. It's been a minute.

674
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: My next play is, I'm looking at how these content

675
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: creators are getting on TikTok and YouTube shorts and stuff

676
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 2: and just posting not random stuff, but it's not a

677
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: big budget production, and they're getting the brand deals and

678
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: they're getting the views and they're building their audience. So

679
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: I feel like my next direction, as far as going

680
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: to indie route, I'm looking more so into content creation

681
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: and creating stuff for social because I know that's where

682
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: the younger people are older people are on it. If

683
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: you put it on Facebook, you know they're gonna eat

684
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: it up. So that's like my next route. That way

685
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: I can develop my own IP and own it so

686
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: when somebody do see it, I ain't want to pick

687
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: it up. It's be like a similar situation with Isa

688
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: Ray and Opera Black Girl and stuff like that.

689
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Or but now during the Ray era, I don't know

690
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: if the algorithms were as algorithm as now, because like

691
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: sometimes we could post and we'll have a good six

692
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: months and then we'll have a six months of what

693
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: is wrong? Yeah, And I don't think it's the content.

694
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: I think it's more so the algorithm. Yeah, if you

695
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: changing them around.

696
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could say that. You also say it's oversaturated.

697
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: But I also feel like if you do have something

698
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: that you want to put out there now, it's the

699
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 2: time to just put it out there versus waiting and

700
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: then if somebody do come along and they're like, oh,

701
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: we want this, and you sign your rights away from

702
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: it because you don't really have much leverage in the game,

703
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: versus building your own audience and going to indie route.

704
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: That's what it's looking more like now, given with the

705
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: state of the industry.

706
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're still doing screenwriting though.

707
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still right. I'm still trying to push hey

708
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: Boo out there.

709
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: But I don't understand if they own it, why would

710
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: you still want to push it.

711
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: Because we do have a shopping agreement between each other,

712
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: so I can't take it out. I have permission to

713
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: take it out to pitch to different streamers and studios. Yeah,

714
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 2: so that's what my main thing is, trying to get

715
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: it made it to a full length film. That way,

716
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: it's another credit under my belt, money, all that type.

717
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: Of stuff, And so you can take it out right

718
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: from the Yeah.

719
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: I could take it out now that I'm under the agreement,

720
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 2: but like, once the agreement is up, then we have

721
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: to go back to the table, like, hey, we need

722
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: a little bit more time so we can get it somewhere.

723
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, that's a lot of pressure. Do you have

724
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: friends that pitch you on you looking over their pictures

725
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: a lot?

726
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

727
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: How does that feel?

728
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: It feels good that they trust me to look over

729
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: the stuff. I don't try to be too hard on

730
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: them because I know like how it feels to be

731
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: on the other side and be a creative and you

732
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: sensitive about your art. So I try to be as

733
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: nice about it, but also tell them like, hey, this's

734
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: not gonna work, or you may want to go back

735
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: and look at this. But they do come to me

736
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: a lot with different pictures or ideas they think I

737
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: should do.

738
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: You're open to all of that. What advice do you

739
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: give to people now, knowing everything that you learned about

740
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: the industry.

741
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: And get close with this mic friend?

742
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: Pick up your phone and shoot something. Wow, Just pick

743
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: up your phone and shoot something, and you never know

744
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: what it can become. You might not even post it,

745
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: but just getting it out there, putting it out there,

746
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 2: getting it out your head and something that you can

747
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: see visually. I feel like it helped. Like I just

748
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: go back to the moment where I was at sun

749
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 2: Dance in the theater and my name pop up written

750
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: by Danielle Solomon. I'm like, oh, wow, it's out there.

751
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

752
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: So like even if nobody else see it, or you

753
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: show it to your family or like, just pick up

754
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: your phone and shoot something and don't have to be

755
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: too much. It could just be like a short or

756
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: it could be like a little skit that you call

757
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: or you don't post. It's just getting that practice in

758
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: and just building something if you get in the habit

759
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 2: of doing that, Because it's good to just write and

760
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: watch TV and study it, but it's also good to

761
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 2: actually like film something.

762
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: Yes, And in regards to like joining the bigger companies

763
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: like Heartbeat, Bounce, FEUs and all of that, what do

764
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: you feel knowing what you know now?

765
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: Like joining it as a Yeah, it wouldn't be my

766
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: first stop. My first thought would be trying to build

767
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: my own audience. That way I can leverage myself more

768
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 2: when I go.

769
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: To You think getting out bigger audience is more important

770
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: than getting the credits. This is a random at this

771
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: point in the game for me. Yes, wow, Yeah, that's

772
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: a big statement. Yeah, I agree. I feel like everything's

773
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: going to social media route. But there are theories that

774
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: they're saying like that social media may and which I'll

775
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: be honest, like the day social media dies would probably

776
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: be one of the happiest days of my life because

777
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: everything is around it. It's like we're but it's also

778
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: very controlled by the who's a who. I heard that

779
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: when Trump got elected everyone ended up following him. I

780
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: don't know if my I don't think I ended up

781
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: like they said that if you went on your feed,

782
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: you'd see that you follow him. Now, I was just like,

783
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: how can we trust something that's so like listening in

784
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: Like you say, cat food around your phone, yet cat

785
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: food and like you have say you're following ten thousand

786
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: or two thousand friends, you're only seeing like ten of

787
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: your friends stuff.

788
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was reading something about Tyler Perry and his

789
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: early days and how he had like an email list.

790
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: I feel like social media is a good start, but

791
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: it's not like a stop. Like you try to figure

792
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: out how you can stay connected with your audience beyond that,

793
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: maybe you do a live show or something, or if

794
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: you in the comedy, do a little improv type of thing.

795
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: But I feel like social media is a good start,

796
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: but it shouldn't be the stop. Yeah.

797
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: I tell a lot of people when I do a

798
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of event marketing, and I tell people all the

799
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: time social is cute, but at the end of the day,

800
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: you want cell phone numbers and email addresses because however

801
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: that person uses that social you cannot control the ogurith

802
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: can't control the output. Which you do need to know

803
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: is that anytime you sell a ticket or promote something,

804
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: that person needs to see that impression six to eight

805
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: times or to making a purchase, or prior to adjusting

806
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: their schedules. You gotta figure out every way possible to

807
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: catch those email addresses and phone numbers, because the real

808
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: power lies in having that direct contact to phone.

809
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a good example of that with Maya Business.

810
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: It didn't really have a big marketing push compared it

811
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: to the other shows and mounts, and I noticed that.

812
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: So I was like, So, me and Danielle Dominique, the

813
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: other co creator of the show, we was like, Okay,

814
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: we need to drop this in our group chets. We

815
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: need to tell our family members and different people to

816
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: watch it because they're not really pushing it out there,

817
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: and like you said, people need to see it at

818
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: least six to eight times. So our family was posting

819
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: in our alumni groups, and she was in a sorority.

820
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 2: Her sorority was posting it and supporting it. And that's

821
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: how I was able to become the higher original premiere

822
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: ever and Bounce history was word of mouth and telling

823
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: people versus them putting together this whole marketing plan because

824
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: it didn't get the huge marketing rollout that it should

825
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: have gotten.

826
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, agreed. Why I've learned so much from you.

827
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for cooking for us. I respectfully

828
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: know it was like making mad jokes about your dish,

829
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: but I feel like it was like a wealth of

830
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: knowledge and full transparency on a super rocky road that

831
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: I can only imagine has been like really emotional. Yeah,

832
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: I think because I feel like I would have twitched

833
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times.

834
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: A lot of people would have crashed out by now,

835
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: gave up. But it's what else Mama gonna do if

836
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: I don't do this.

837
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: So are you getting emotional?

838
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I little bit why.

839
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

840
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just been I'm sorry, it's just been a

841
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: long it's been a heart. It doesn't seem like it's

842
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: been a long journey, but it's been a long journey,

843
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: and it's been really hard just trying to, you know,

844
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: stay and stay on the right track. Because it's easily

845
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 2: it's easy to get discourage, it's easy to get feel

846
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: like you're never gonna achieve anything. And I feel like

847
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: because I was able to at least get something done,

848
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: it's given me the motivation to keep going. Okay, I

849
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: was able to do this when I was in this position,

850
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: I know I can do more now.

851
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: So what are the things that make you doubt yourself?

852
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Because I completely completely empathize with at least you have

853
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: these markers saying I took an idea and I'd proven

854
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: that I was able to land it and other people

855
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: were able to profit. What was the thing that makes

856
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: you feel like you constantly have to tell yourself to

857
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: try again or not give up or not pivot.

858
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: I honestly feel like it's just it's not me. But

859
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: then like I know I can do it. I can

860
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 2: see it in my head, like I know, Okay, this

861
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: could be real. It's just things that's out of my

862
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: control that I can't control that kind of makes me

863
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: doubt myself. I'm like, dang, because they're not high in

864
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: this show got canceled, this is show I wanted to

865
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 2: write on, and things like that discouraged me and make

866
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: me doubt, Okay, why am I doing this? But then

867
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: it's like I always remind myself, what else will I

868
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 2: am I willing to do if I'm not doing this

869
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: that will make me content, that will not have me

870
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: living in regret.

871
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: And what's the answer. Nothing?

872
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: Nothing. So it's like I had no choice but to

873
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 2: do what I'm doing, try to keep going in pursuing.

874
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: It, and then how do you manage your finances through

875
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: that whole process.

876
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 2: I gotta work sometimes, I gotta work jobs that's not

877
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: as oh I'm on set. No, I'm actually doing customer

878
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: service work.

879
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

880
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know it's jobs that you ideally don't

881
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: want to do and you never know what This industry

882
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: is very unpredictable. I got laid off at FUSE in January,

883
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: so I've been just trying to hustle to try to

884
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: keep up so I can stay here because I don't

885
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: want to leave here and not accomplish what I set

886
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 2: out to do here before I go back home. So

887
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 2: I was like, I have to find ways to make money.

888
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's the reality of it all.

889
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: I personally hold on like three jobs, right, Yeah. I

890
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: tell people like only in La you meet people that

891
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: work a forty hours job, get off uber and then

892
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: they side side house so it's babysitting, and that is

893
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: the normal here.

894
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. That was being when I was confused. I was

895
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: working full time and then I was working part time

896
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: because it was like, let me pay this stuff off,

897
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 2: like to do the loans that way I can take

898
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: out another loan so I could do the short film

899
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: or do anohing, a little animated something, some type of

900
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 2: product of my own. So that was like my whole thing.

901
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: I was like working to get stuff paid off so

902
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: I can take out not the loan and dude.

903
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, I think that God left these accolades at

904
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: the right time for you to know like you're heading power.

905
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: It has to be that God. Hey, I know this

906
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: road looks rocky as hell, but don't forget you had

907
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: this and you brought it to life. I think the

908
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: creators the greatest thing someone could ever do is be

909
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: like the imitation of God. Have a vision for something

910
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: and create it and give it life like something that

911
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: no one thought to exist. Or you were just like

912
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: bringing an idea to life, as to me is like beautiful.

913
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: But who else see you? Thank you, Thank you for

914
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: the vulnerability.

915
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm never.

916
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: Eats and cheese for breakfast, please Lord, Please, No, I

917
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,520

918
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up eating it.

919
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: So no, I'll take it back. Take it back. It's

920
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 2: not my favorite dish.

921
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: But like I say on this show, the broke of

922
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: the dish the better. The story in this story was

923
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: truly amazing and inspiring, and I love that you're vulnerabile

924
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: about it. Where can everybody keep up with Danielle Solomon?

925
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: And I want to say support, hey boo. I don't

926
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: know if we should be support to mind our business?

927
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: Should we? Y'all can watch it if I want to

928
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: watch the first season, I recommend.

929
00:42:59,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: The first season.

930
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: I'm only hating because I feel some type of way. Yeah,

931
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: everybody do, but yeah, definitely support the first season. I'm

932
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: not gonna tell people not to watch it because it's

933
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: black people behind the camera, black people in front of

934
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 2: the cameras. Don't want to take away from what they're doing.

935
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: Just black. No Bounces was never owned by black people,

936
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: but so we just capitalizing all them. Yeah, but I

937
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 2: would say support them a chance because we don't have

938
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: that many shows, and the shows we do have are

939
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,080
