<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>So before we get into tea on everything screenwriting and

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>creative production wise, let's get into what you were eating

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>long before the accolades.

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>So this is pork and beans and cheese. I considered

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>this a Daniel's delicacy. That's my grandmother's family. I don't

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>really know people that like couldbine pork and beans with

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>scheddar cheese. Like I would go out to places because

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 2>we usually eat this for breakfast, and I would go

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>out to places and I look at the menu, I'm like,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>where's the pork and beans and cheese. I think it's

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>just my family that does this.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Definitely, I didn't even know that. I didn't even know

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a breakfast thing.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, we used to eat this for breakfast. Sometimes

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>we would have like other things like eggs, grets, but

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it'll be just that bacon in a.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Biscuit, bacon and a biscuit. Porkan beans. Now I was

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>talking best before the carat started rolling, So go ahead

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and tell everybody the difference between pork and beans and

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>baked beans.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>So porking beans, it's not it doesn't have that like

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>sweet taste like the baked beans, the butsh or whatever

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I can, so, yeah, it doesn't have that sweet taste.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's a tomato sauce. So yeah, I feel like

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the big.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's go to Brokeville. And so when we got

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the dish with ingredients, I said pork and beans. And

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>then I was like, okay, do baked beans come with

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>hot dogs? And then I said, where is she talking

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>about pork and beans? And then lo and behold, there

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>is a can in the world that says pork and beans.

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>And so now we are the proud owners and recipients

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of a dish that I can honestly say, I don't think.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>I've ever heard. Yeah, I think it's just my family

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>that does this because every time I go out I'm

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>from Virginia, but my family is from North Carolina, and

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we're the only ones that does this

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>for breakfast.

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>None of your friends did it.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>No, That's why I'm like, I don't think it's like

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a known thing.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>And then she's dropping the cheese, so her your dish

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 1>is essentially like three dollars. Yep, it could feed at

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>least three to four people. And she's the most expensive dish.

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>The expensive ingredient in it.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I see. And it's protein, so you got to be.

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>And it's protein. Oh are you trying to say that

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this dish is considered healthy?

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>I love that optimisticness. The protein counts for something, So yeah,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna turn this up.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>So either this is a family tradition or you guys

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>were really struggling at some point and you guys did not.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>My grandmother got it from her mom, and her mom

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>had ten kids, so maybe, yeah.

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is your grandma. You said your grandma's mom

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>was struggling. She passed the tradition on, which is a

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>beautiful tradition. I'm just in a joking move, but I

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>love this dish because I love to say the broke

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>with the dish, the better the story. Yeah, but in

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>your case, this is a household Now.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>We thought this was like something like it was up

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>there with grits.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Wow. What was the last time you had this?

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably when I was back home in Virginia. I think

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>my grandma made some or my mom made it. Yeah,

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I usually have it when I'm back home.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>So you'd be like, like, yo, you guys got the

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>pork and bees ready. No, I'm genuinely carrious you like, yo, Yeah.

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>You need this with some eggs. If I want like

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>a big breath fix, I get this with some eggs.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Eggs on the side, are in it?

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Eggs on the side, Yeah, Bacon, biscuits or toes or

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>sausage and then maybe some grits. It just depends.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, take me back to before the last home visit,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>way back, and I don't want to talk smack about this,

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>because guys, I totally respect these dishes. I'm just in

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a very playful mood right now. We was all eating

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>this cheese bless our stomachs because we were sweet. Jared

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and I we was chomping right.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. After this, you might yeah get a good cleaner.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So go ahead, tell me what was going on

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>way back, way back, not recent home visits.

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Way back in Virginia. I was a product of a

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 2>single my disk, so we just spent a lot of

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>time at my house. We used to live there practically

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>for most of my life. So it used to be

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 2>six of us at a time in a two bedroom,

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>one bedroom house.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Wait, how many kids?

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Just me and my brother? And so its me and

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>my brother, my mom, my uncle, and my grandparents. Okay,

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 2>all in one house. Oh yeah, you all lived together

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>for the most of my adolacing years. We all stayed

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 2>in the same house in new Port News.

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, your mom was working a lot of jobs or.

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I think got the most. She probably worked like three jobs,

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>which is probably where I get it from.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, two parent household? Where was pops

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to two parent household?

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where he was at, but I ain't

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna say he wasn't, Like at one point we were

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>living together, but I really we really didn't have a

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>relationship with him. So he was around, he was in

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the area, but we ain't see him.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Guys didn't see him at all, really, but y'all knew

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>who he was.

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we knew who he was, Yeah, you knew who

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 2>we were and that was that.

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Did your mom ever speak on it?

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>She's trying not to like really talk bad like down

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>on him. Even my grandma, like they never try to

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>talk down on him. Like we knew what it was like.

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.039
<v Speaker 2>They ain't have to say nothing because it was actions

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>speak out than words.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, did you ever have a longing for him or anything?

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in a house where even though we

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 2>ain't have much, it was felt like I didn't really

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 2>miss as much. And then I grew up in like

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>an area where a lot of people like had some

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 2>come from some wilar situation. So it was like, that's

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>it is what it is. It wasn't until I got

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>older then I'm like, oh, okay, when I seen other people,

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>they had their two parent households, different things like that. Okay,

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I did miss out on something, but when I was

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>growing up, I really it wasn't really like something at

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the top of my mind for real.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, that's good to know.

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.679
<v Speaker 3>So you growing up with a family full of love

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 3>in pork and beans, and somewhere along the journey you

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 3>aspired to be on the other side of the television

0:06:58.360 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 3>but what sparked that inspiration.

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>So my uncle he used to have this huge collection

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 2>of DVDs in the living room, mostly like black Cinema,

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>like the Spike Lee Best Man, all that different type

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, and that was like my I would consider

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>my intro to like cinema. And I didn't know at

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the time that I wanted to get into film and TV.

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I knew I wanted to do something like in the

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>arts and in that world because I used to draw

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot and different things of that nature. But that

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>was like my early film school because I watched all

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the films that you could think of. Some of the

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>films I probably ain't had no business watching, like Players

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Club all that type of stuff, ice Cube movies, and

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>yet I was like my early introduction to like film

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and different things of that nature. And we also used

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to watch like upn all the sitcoms back in the day.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I used to go back and watch ninety six comms

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>with him and my mom and different things that would

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 2>come on television.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Would you say that it wasn't just like what you're watching,

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 1>but the good vives of what it was doing to

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>your family, like a family pass hour.

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it brought us together, like all get in the

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>living room like on weeknights and watch like The Parkers

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>or One on one and different things of that nature.

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, at what point do you start to say

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I like this enough to pursue it or even think

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a viable option.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>So in middle school I went to this It had

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>this art slash communications program, and then we had like

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 2>our own studio where we used to do like the

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>morning announcement and we used to do like different shows.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>And it was an actual class too. So I feel

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 2>like that class, out of all of my classes, I

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 2>really like, and like we used to do a lot

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>of different things in there, and I'm like, this is

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>what I want to do. I ain't really care about

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>going to math or other things. I wanted to do this.

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Did you start sharing these feelings with your family.

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And they were pretty much just go for whatever

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you want to do. It wasn't like discouraging, oh no,

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>you need to do this, like Yeah, they were pretty

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>much get you a job. Yeah.

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.959
<v Speaker 1>But did they make you lean towards college.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes. It was either college or the military because it

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 2>was a big like military in Virginia, and I chose

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 2>college because I was not going to the military.

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Was any of your family members in the military.

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Not your mom though, No, not my mom. Okay, So,

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, this is looking very gooey and good.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it's supposed to look like? It looks

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good.

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we got It's not as quite as

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 2>my grandma's, but we got a good consistency going. And

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I think crackers.

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this would go go with some saltine.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we used to just eat us for breakfast.

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It looks good.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I can see the cheese and the tomato sauce going

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:40.640
<v Speaker 1>well together.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think it's about dying.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Look at you, I think grandma.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, let me check, because I don't want you

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to get no big chunk of cheese.

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind it. I was eating chunks before. I

0:09:55.400 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>had fifteen chunks in my cup and you need a bowl. Yeah,

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 1>go ahead. So you decide, Hey, I'm going to pursue this.

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go to college because military seems probably possible.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Dance absolutely not. I was not going to the military.

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>That's good. And so you go into college and then

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>what are you majoring in college?

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 2>In high school I did a lot of reporting sideline

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>reporting and different things of that nature. So oh, let

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>me go to journalism route. So I'm major. My concentration

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>was journalism, but my major on my degree it says

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 2>degree in Media Journalism and Film because we took all

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>different types of classes.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, at what point during this are you like, Okay,

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>where did you go to school? You said, Howard? Howard,

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>So I will come on, fill up a chair. We're

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>going to do a taste test on this. Chairs, let's

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>try this together.

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to burn my mouth.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You're right, and it's not really baked being ish, but

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>there is a little sweetness to it.

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a little bit, not a lot.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to see if I could taste the cheese,

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like I can't, but I could feel

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the texture of cheese. Am I tripping?

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Nope?

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 1>For all y'all at home, I highly do not recommend this.

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>This. This is a three and a half and not

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 2>a three and a half.

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll say, if you are starving and you need a

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:24.959
<v Speaker 1>filling meal.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's gonna fill you up.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like a cheese after taste and you need

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>this all the time growing up.

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not terrible but on all the eating while broke.

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:37.680
<v Speaker 1>This is.

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 2>This is broke broke eating while I broke broke.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>What I like about this is the first time we've

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>had it. And I almost hooked you up with baked beans.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I promise you if you go in the back kitchen,

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a can of baked beans.

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Thank god. Some part of me was like, no, where

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>is the port going for baked beans? I need an oven.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>This is a one and donners. But I love that

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you came with this dish because it's unique and it's broke.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>We've had guests that come on and they have somehow

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>they've tallied up one hundred dollars grocery bill, and I'm like, yeah,

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you missed the mission.

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, yeah, no, Like I said, it was six

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>of us in the house.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.440
<v Speaker 1>We have to make it work.

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>So you decide to major in.

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Media film broadcast journalism yep, and from there you graduate.

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>What's your next play?

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Senior year? No, I would let me get it back, Okay,

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I would go back to maybe like junior or senior year,

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe sophomore year. Oh, it's all a blur. But I

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>decided I didn't want to do journalism anymore. But it

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 2>was too late in my matriculation to change my major.

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So I started taking playwriting classes and the Fine Art

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 2>School and screenwriting. I took that later my senior year,

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, you know what, I just want

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>to get into the entertainment side and that the news.

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>So like I would skip classes to go pa on

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 2>different television specials in Dcy. Okay, Yeah, I would just

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>try to like find different things to do intern and

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that kind of got me into wanting to do more

0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>of the entertainment side. So like my senior year, I

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>just got it. I was trying to get into this

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 2>program called HBCU to LA where you like get an

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 2>internship and they provide housing and you like work with

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 2>either Disney or Like I had interview with Disney owned

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 2>BT didn't get not one internship from them, And so

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 2>then I was like, I think I was sick. One

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>day in my dorm and I was just scanning through

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the channels because we didn't have cables, so I would

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>just scan through the channels trying to find something to watch,

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and I came across the Bounce okay, and I was like, Okay,

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>what's this. They remind me like of the early two

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>thousands upn type of vibe. I looked them up and

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 2>so I just sent the email to a random general

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 2>bounce email and HR responded and it was like, Hey,

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you want to come to Atlanta for a interview.

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what kind of email did you send them?

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I was just basically saying, hey, I just came across network,

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>just saying all the things that I'd done and what

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I was interested in, and it was like, Okay, you

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>want to come down to Atlanta for an interview? Because

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>they had an internship program, so they had like different

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.439
<v Speaker 2>college students a part of their internship program. I was

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>like sure, and I was like, oh shoot, I'm gonna

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.199
<v Speaker 2>get to Atlanta. So I just used my work study

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 2>money and brought a flight and flew down there for

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 2>a day.

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you tell your family about this? Yeah? Okay.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I flew down there for a day and did the interview,

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 2>and then when I came back, they said I got it.

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>And then were you like, oh my god, how am

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I gonna live over there?

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>So what'd you do?

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I took all the money that my family and family

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>friends gave me from graduation. I think my granddaddy and

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 2>my uncle James gave me some extra money on the.

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Side shut out to them.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they got me a train ticket because I couldn't

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>afford a flight, so they got me Amtrak train ticket

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>from DC to Atlanta.

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But how are you gonna survive in Atlanta?

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>So I was able to find a place that kind

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of fell through. So I wasn't homeless. I was of

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>a home, and so I knew somebody down there and

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it was like, Hey, just come stay with me and

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna figure it out. So I want to stay

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 2>with them. They had a friend that was staying in

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>like this off off campus student housing and she was like, yeah,

<v Speaker 2>just pretend like you're meet for the summer and you'll

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>be fine. So that's how I pretend like I was

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 2>her for the summer, and I stayed at her off

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>campus housing.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh there was a term you used in that you

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>said you weren't homeless, but you wasn't.

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.280

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>slept on a couch And that's hilarious. I love that.

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:30.800

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>have to break her off anything. She just looked out, No,

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>she just said, look, I ain't trying to stay here.

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.600

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:55.800

<v Speaker 2>back if they had any opportunity, So I would say maybe.

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Around September, I came back to Atlanta as a temp

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>for the department. It was the original programming department, and

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>that temporary position was only posed to last until February.

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Before February could come, they offered me a full time position.

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, So then you're officially in Atlanta, yep, and

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>your family's singing praises and everything. You are excited yep.

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So then what happens from there?

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Just grinding, trying to learn everything. And one thing that

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>my boss at the time stress was I get to

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 2>know every department head, everybody that work in the department.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 2>So I spent most of my internship trying to learn

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the different departments and how they work with our department,

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 2>not just staying isolated. So it was a lot of

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 2>that and just working on different shows. At the time,

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.199
<v Speaker 2>they didn't have a big post production department, so I

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>was helping out with posts. I was reading scripts and

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 2>different things, and yeah, just grinding it out, getting up early,

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>catching the bus, then catching the trains so I can

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>get to bucket.

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So at what point does mine your business come into play?

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>So maya business come in twenty twenty two? Yeah, twenty

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty two. It happened before Hayboo, or it happened after

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Hayboo after.

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. But mind your businesses would bounce right, Okay,

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>So I don't want to skip over, Okay, then go

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>hey Boo first.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I go hay booth while I'm in Atlanta. I

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 2>really didn't know a lot of people there, so I

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 2>mainly just like in my free time, right try working

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on my craft in different things. And then I was

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.399
<v Speaker 2>applying to all of these fellowships Disney, NBC like they

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.479
<v Speaker 2>all had these fellowships, and then the smaller fellowships, and

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 2>then I came across.

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>What's a fellowship.

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So a fellowship is basically they take a group of writers,

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 2>they bring them in. You do it from workshops. Sometimes

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it's paid, and you just get immersed into the whole

0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 2>right inside of that level. And then after the fellowship

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>you should have something like already finished or you're developing something,

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 2>or you can use whatever you worked on as a

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.639
<v Speaker 2>sample to get staff on like a show. So that

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 2>was like what I really wanted to do, instead of

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 2>going like the writer's PA route and going to writers Assistant,

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get into a fellowship. So I just

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>kept applying, got rejected every year by all of them,

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 2>and then I started applying to like smaller ones, and

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.479
<v Speaker 2>then I came across Heartbeat. I applied one year, I

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't get it, and that was I think that was

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.919
<v Speaker 2>the first year. And then the second year, I almost

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 2>forgot about applying it to it until a coworker told

0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 2>me like, hey, are you gonna apply to this Heartbeat Fellowship?

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh yeah, and I put it off

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and then it was like, up, the deadline's here. So

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I heard up and rolled a skip and that's what

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I submitted.

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>And then they accepted it and you did you want?

0:18:58.200 --> 0:18:58.880
<v Speaker 1>How did it work?

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.119
<v Speaker 2>So basic? They narrowed it down to people that they

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 2>wanted to interview. So I did an interview with one

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 2>of the co founders of the program, Candice, and also

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the program manager, which was Jennifer at the time, and

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>so we did an interview and then after that kind

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 2>of was just waiting to see and then I remember

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>it was like before my birthday or either on my birthday,

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer had called me. She was like, hey, so what

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 2>is your schedule looking like for this? Then? And the

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 2>third I'm like, why would she be in that? And

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>so then I think, like the day before my birthday

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I found out I got the fellowship?

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Nice, yep, how long was the fellowship?

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>The fellowship was for a year, but the writers strike

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.479
<v Speaker 2>cut that year little short.

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, okay, so then what happens from there, Britt,

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 1>is this when you start to think about Habu?

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>So Habu was with the Fellowship.

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Habu was what you submitted?

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Habu was what I submitted, and it just after that,

0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 2>it probably went like through a couple of rounds of

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>notes with them and then the director logan and yeah,

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.880
<v Speaker 2>after that they went to shooting it. So I came

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.800
<v Speaker 2>out here for that shoot. I was flying back and

0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 2>forth a lot from Atlanta to la from my job

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and then for Haybow different things that they wanted to

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 2>do with the Fellowship. And once Habu was shot, I

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 2>was working on the show at Bounce called Accurate Age.

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>We were on set and me and one of my

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>coworkers we were talking about, Okay, we got Accurate Age,

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 2>but what else are we going to be working on.

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.239
<v Speaker 2>What's going to be like the Companion show to this?

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>What other programming? And so we was like, okay, let's

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 2>start brainstorming and thinking of a show to go with

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 2>this or to like air after this. So we had

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>something in the bank.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And this wasn't something This wasn't a part of your job,

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>right this is so I was on the.

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Development team and we Accurate Age was developed in house,

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 2>So do develop ideas in house and just outsource to

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 2>a production company bring it to life. So it was

0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 2>a part of my job, but like really taking this

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>INITIATI was but my pay grade. Like but we was like, hey,

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we need something to do because like, yeah we need

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>a job. Yeah, we need to show reps. And then

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 2>just going back to getting no different departments like they

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 2>were saying like like the older sitcoms are performing well,

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 2>like on the streaming platforms and on our fast channels,

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Like it would be nice if we could get something

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 2>of that same wheelhouse. So we put our brains together

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.959
<v Speaker 2>and that's how we came up. It was called Family

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Affair before it became maya business. Yeah, and then you

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 2>pitch it yeah, So we pitched it too. I made

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.240
<v Speaker 2>sure all the team was on the call. Wasn't like

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 2>a certain intervie. I was like, I want the whole

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 2>original team on a call, and I need I to

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>pull people to the south. I need you to pack

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.360
<v Speaker 2>me up on it. And so we pitched it to them.

0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 2>They loved it, and so our next step was to

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 2>find a writer to write the pilot episode. And if

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the pilot episode, like the script was good enough. Then

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:53.400
<v Speaker 2>they were green lighted.

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And when they greenlighted, what does that mean, Like you

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.919
<v Speaker 1>sold your first show? Yeah, it basically mean you were

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>going to series, Like, yeah, what was that ex experience

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>like for you? So when they did greenlight it, I

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>was no longer at Bounce. I left Bounce to go

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.439
<v Speaker 1>to Fuse because I was now out here living in

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.360
<v Speaker 1>LA and at the time, I was just a senior

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>coordinator at Bounce, but the money that I was making

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>was more so affordable for Atlanta in that LA and

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:23.479
<v Speaker 1>then there were a whole bunch of layoff talks. So

0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I need to find another way to

0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>make more money, and this is not it. So I

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.440
<v Speaker 1>left Bounce to go to Fuse, and I also left

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to really go ham on my writing. And then that's

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 1>when the strikes happened. But you were also doing the

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Heartbeat Fellowship.

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Heartbeat Fellowship Sundance that all happened.

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So you got a lot of overlap, a lot

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of overlaps. When you leave, they still have the rights

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to buy mind your business.

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So when you work for a network and you

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 2>pitch ideas internally.

0:22:53.200 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>They own the idea. Yeah, Womb Womb like, I can't there.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 1>They own it because you pitched it while you were

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 1>an employee. Yeah, so if you would have left and

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 1>then pitched it, then I would own it. So they

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>own it.

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 2>But that's the whole point. I feel like that's the

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 2>reason why they really wanted to do the show, because

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 2>they're like, Okay, we got this internal idea that we

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 2>can hold on to and we can take out and license,

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 2>like don't but it ended up being a top show

0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 2>for them. Yep.

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 1>So you knowing that, is there a part of you

0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that thinks also that maybe you walking in some of

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the talks or the rhetoric that was going on, could

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>have because if you would have stayed as an employee,

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 1>what would you have gotten after pitching that show? Nothing?

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Nothing but working long hours on the show and still

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 2>making my salary. That's crazy.

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know if that should be allowed for real.

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like two far. I know certain networks they

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 2>may break you off a little something extra if you

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:57.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just.

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Gave them like more than what they invested in you, basically, Yeah,

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:04.679
<v Speaker 1>and you're cool with that. Earth how do you feel? So?

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I was a little salty because it was like I

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to. When I left the company. We had

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>conversations before, Hey, you can come back as a consultant.

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 2>This is your show that you created and that didn't

0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 2>happen because of budget cuts and the strike.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:23.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's also one of their top performing shows. Yeah, yes,

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>be super salty. Yeah, so I just look at it

0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>like this way. If I can create that show, I

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>can do another one. So I'm past it now. Yeah,

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 1>But like at the time, I was very Yeah, I'm

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>still trying to get past it, but it.

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Was very salty. But I just that's messed up, man.

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I would be complaining for at least six months.

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 2>And then it was this whole thing about my created

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 2>by credit. I'm like, in my employee agreement it said

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 2>like any idea y'all own. It didn't say nothing about

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:51.919
<v Speaker 2>me not getting my proper credit.

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Did they give it to you?

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they had to give it to me because one

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>of the executives that was there when I was there

0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>at the time, he made sure when we signed the

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.360
<v Speaker 2>writer onto write the pilot, he said, hey, all three

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 2>of these ladies are getting created by credit. Put that

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 2>in an agreement.

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>The other two ladies there still.

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 2>One is there the other one was like a contract

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>work for hire, so she wasn't a full time employee

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 2>with the y'all just giving up your gold. Okay, got it,

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 2>she wasn't, So she was just hired on to be

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the writer and work on the show and be executive

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 2>producer and all of that.

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>So we'll shout out to him for fighting for y'all.

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I appreciate JJ for doing that because if

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't there, they probably would have found some way

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 2>to not give us our credit.

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so then you're over at Fused having that Fuseland.

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 2>So Fuse was unscripted, which was I did unscripted that Bounce,

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>but Fuse was like a different type of unscripted. So

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad I did get that experience and work on

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.360
<v Speaker 2>different shows, and one of them was Big Freedom Means Business,

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>sex sales. We had a sports yeah, we had a

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>lovely Yeah. We had a sports show called Like a Girl.

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.360
<v Speaker 2>That was cool to see come because we like revamped

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the show while I was there, So that was cool

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to see that come to. And Fruistion and and yeah,

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>it was a different type of shows they branded content.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>That was my first time experience with working that in

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>depth with branded content. We was exploring different content.

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:13.160
<v Speaker 1>But you say branded content, what does that mean?

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>So let's say Times best company, I want to say

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it out loud decided they want to sponsor on this

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>segment of me cooking. Yeah, the porky means and cheese.

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>That would be branded branded content.

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Damn, go fuse.

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get.

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get eating while brokenfused at one point,

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they wanted us, but yeah, they have

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 1>some good content. That said, they got sex Cells, which

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>is pretty good and that's a top show for them, right.

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:40.879
<v Speaker 2>And I used to watch like the uncut versions before

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>they had the edit it for so yeah, it's very

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 2>but it was very interesting too, Like I think it's

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 2>a good concept.

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, great, shout out to the Weeezy. I love her,

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:56.440
<v Speaker 1>super cool chick. So your affuse, what's the next play?

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I was still trying to pursue my write in, but

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.720
<v Speaker 2>it was it's hard being like post strikes and a

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of shows not renewing and like different opportunities and

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>then the whole like representation having issues with them. Hey

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>can you give me some rooms? Cause like I was

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>like using my network to get meetings and trying to

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>get my stuff read, and so I was like, Okay,

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe I could just write the full length film of

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>hay Boo and try to get back into Heartbeat. So

0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I started like ID eight and what I wanted the

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 2>full length version of Heyboo to look like, and start writing.

0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:38.640
<v Speaker 2>And so now I have a shopping agreement where Heartbeat

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 2>time is winding down, but I'm trying to get it

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>somewhere at some studio streamer whoever wants to take it on.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:47.919
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that was like my thing of trying to

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 2>get hay Boo, trying to update some of my other

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 2>scripts so when those meetings do come in, I could

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 2>be prepared.

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>So how do you get it? At Peacock and two B.

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Peacock and Twoby was all through Heartbeat. That's what their

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 2>whole arrangement as far as like distributing the films and

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. So we wasn't really involving that part. It

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:09.879
<v Speaker 2>just said, oh, it's gonna be on Peacock. And then

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 2>one day I was at home and I was on

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Toby and I saw it on to I was like,

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 2>oh it's on Toby.

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Too, Oh wow, yes, And then what do those checks

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>look like from that standpoint.

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I only got paid once by a heartbeat, and that

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 2>was for the script.

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Then it was a fellowship.

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like a stipend.

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>But they don't own it, right, they own Heybi, this sucks,

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but this is the I love that you're sharing this

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>because I think that we all think, Okay, we created something,

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.200
<v Speaker 1>we land this big deal and there's this huge payout

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But this definitely has to be like the

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>most roller coaster of emotions ever. Yes, but it's also

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>confidence boosting because you're obviously a creator that's able to

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 1>sell amazing content that's getting picked up. The question is

0:28:56.240 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 1>how do you demand your worth? On the other side,

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you just gotta be what's the word that I can

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>use for you just gotta be on it. You gotta

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>make sure your representation is on it. Did you have

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>representation on both of these accounts?

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 2>No? I got hay boo and did my business all

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>by myself. I didn't get representation.

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 1>So after the fact, well, hey boo, you did after

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the fact too. That's interesting.

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I say this representation is good to have,

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:31.959
<v Speaker 2>but it's more so knowing people Like if I wasn't

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 2>working within the network, I probably wouldn't have been able

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to get a pitched the show in twenty twenty two,

0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and by I want to say, twenty twenty four is

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Aaron on television. And that's because we were working at

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the network and trying to push it through and I

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 2>was on my boss like, hey, do we got disapproved legal?

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like I had an advantage when I

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.800
<v Speaker 2>was at the network to able to get stuff like

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>green lay because that wasn't the first show that I

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>pitched and got like a green light. The other one

0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I pitched was a game show, but it died in

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>like upfront, so I was familiar with how the process work.

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 2>But with this one, like I had the other departments

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>backing me up. I felt like that was my advantage.

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I didn't really need representation because I was

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 2>already in the system.

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.479
<v Speaker 1>But do you think that was a plus or negative?

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Because on one end, it's a plus because it got

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>your stuff pushed further and you know what they're looking

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>for on both sides of the camera now, right, so

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you can consider yourself like a double threat, triple threat, right.

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>But on the downside, there's a little bit of for

0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>lack of better word, it just seems like a little

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of a dog eat dog because yeah, because of

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the affiliation of the network.

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's, uh, you gotta you win some and

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you lose some. So you just got to take into

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>accounts like, hey, you need to get a credit, but

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>how are you gonna go about getting that credit? You

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:47.920
<v Speaker 2>get that credit, that'll take you up a notch. So

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 2>when you do go out on your own, at least

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you have something versus than having nothing.

0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I wasn't trying to cut you off.

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, go ahead.

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>What would you say, is your next play after everything you've.

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Learned, after everything I learned? My next play? I'm sorry, y'all.

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not used to doing interviews. It's been a minute.

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>My next play is, I'm looking at how these content

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>creators are getting on TikTok and YouTube shorts and stuff

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and just posting not random stuff, but it's not a

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:27.040
<v Speaker 2>big budget production, and they're getting the brand deals and

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 2>they're getting the views and they're building their audience. So

0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like my next direction, as far as going

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 2>to indie route, I'm looking more so into content creation

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and creating stuff for social because I know that's where

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the younger people are older people are on it. If

0:31:41.280 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you put it on Facebook, you know they're gonna eat

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>it up. So that's like my next route. That way

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I can develop my own IP and own it so

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 2>when somebody do see it, I ain't want to pick

0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>it up. It's be like a similar situation with Isa

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Ray and Opera Black Girl and stuff like that.

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Or but now during the Ray era, I don't know

0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>if the algorithms were as algorithm as now, because like

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we could post and we'll have a good six

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 1>months and then we'll have a six months of what

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is wrong? Yeah, And I don't think it's the content.

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more so the algorithm. Yeah, if you

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 1>changing them around.

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you could say that. You also say it's oversaturated.

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>But I also feel like if you do have something

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 2>that you want to put out there now, it's the

0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:26.719
<v Speaker 2>time to just put it out there versus waiting and

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>then if somebody do come along and they're like, oh,

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we want this, and you sign your rights away from

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>it because you don't really have much leverage in the game,

0:32:34.440 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>versus building your own audience and going to indie route.

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what it's looking more like now, given with the

0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>state of the industry.

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you're still doing screenwriting though.

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm still right. I'm still trying to push hey

0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Boo out there.

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't understand if they own it, why would

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>you still want to push it.

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Because we do have a shopping agreement between each other,

0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 2>so I can't take it out. I have permission to

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 2>take it out to pitch to different streamers and studios. Yeah,

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:04.959
<v Speaker 2>so that's what my main thing is, trying to get

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 2>it made it to a full length film. That way,

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 2>it's another credit under my belt, money, all that type.

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Of stuff, And so you can take it out right

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 1>from the Yeah.

0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I could take it out now that I'm under the agreement,

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:19.520
<v Speaker 2>but like, once the agreement is up, then we have

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to go back to the table, like, hey, we need

0:33:20.840 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more time so we can get it somewhere.

0:33:23.920 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Wow, that's a lot of pressure. Do you have

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>friends that pitch you on you looking over their pictures

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot?

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:32.640
<v Speaker 1>How does that feel?

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 2>It feels good that they trust me to look over

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the stuff. I don't try to be too hard on

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 2>them because I know like how it feels to be

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 2>on the other side and be a creative and you

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 2>sensitive about your art. So I try to be as

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:49.080
<v Speaker 2>nice about it, but also tell them like, hey, this's

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 2>not gonna work, or you may want to go back

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and look at this. But they do come to me

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot with different pictures or ideas they think I

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>should do.

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 1>You're open to all of that. What advice do you

0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>give to people now, knowing everything that you learned about

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the industry.

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 3>And get close with this mic friend?

0:34:05.840 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Pick up your phone and shoot something. Wow, Just pick

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 2>up your phone and shoot something, and you never know

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>what it can become. You might not even post it,

0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 2>but just getting it out there, putting it out there,

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 2>getting it out your head and something that you can

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 2>see visually. I feel like it helped. Like I just

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 2>go back to the moment where I was at sun

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Dance in the theater and my name pop up written

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 2>by Danielle Solomon. I'm like, oh, wow, it's out there.

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>So like even if nobody else see it, or you

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>show it to your family or like, just pick up

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 2>your phone and shoot something and don't have to be

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:41.920
<v Speaker 2>too much. It could just be like a short or

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it could be like a little skit that you call

0:34:44.040 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 2>or you don't post. It's just getting that practice in

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:50.239
<v Speaker 2>and just building something if you get in the habit

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 2>of doing that, Because it's good to just write and

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 2>watch TV and study it, but it's also good to

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.280
<v Speaker 2>actually like film something.

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And in regards to like joining the bigger companies

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 1>like Heartbeat, Bounce, FEUs and all of that, what do

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you feel knowing what you know now?

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Like joining it as a Yeah, it wouldn't be my

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>first stop. My first thought would be trying to build

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 2>my own audience. That way I can leverage myself more

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:20.919
<v Speaker 2>when I go.

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>To You think getting out bigger audience is more important

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>than getting the credits. This is a random at this

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 1>point in the game for me. Yes, wow, Yeah, that's

0:35:36.680 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a big statement. Yeah, I agree. I feel like everything's

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 1>going to social media route. But there are theories that

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:46.680
<v Speaker 1>they're saying like that social media may and which I'll

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.240
<v Speaker 1>be honest, like the day social media dies would probably

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:53.280
<v Speaker 1>be one of the happiest days of my life because

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 1>everything is around it. It's like we're but it's also

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 1>very controlled by the who's a who. I heard that

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 1>when Trump got elected everyone ended up following him. I

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know if my I don't think I ended up

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 1>like they said that if you went on your feed,

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you'd see that you follow him. Now, I was just like,

0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>how can we trust something that's so like listening in

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Like you say, cat food around your phone, yet cat

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 1>food and like you have say you're following ten thousand

0:36:21.120 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>or two thousand friends, you're only seeing like ten of

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:24.720
<v Speaker 1>your friends stuff.

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was reading something about Tyler Perry and his

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 2>early days and how he had like an email list.

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like social media is a good start, but

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 2>it's not like a stop. Like you try to figure

0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 2>out how you can stay connected with your audience beyond that,

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:42.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe you do a live show or something, or if

0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.680
<v Speaker 2>you in the comedy, do a little improv type of thing.

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like social media is a good start,

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.400
<v Speaker 2>but it shouldn't be the stop. Yeah.

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I tell a lot of people when I do a

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of event marketing, and I tell people all the

0:36:56.880 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>time social is cute, but at the end of the day,

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:04.280
<v Speaker 1>you want cell phone numbers and email addresses because however

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 1>that person uses that social you cannot control the ogurith

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 1>can't control the output. Which you do need to know

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 1>is that anytime you sell a ticket or promote something,

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 1>that person needs to see that impression six to eight

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.720
<v Speaker 1>times or to making a purchase, or prior to adjusting

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 1>their schedules. You gotta figure out every way possible to

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>catch those email addresses and phone numbers, because the real

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>power lies in having that direct contact to phone.

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and a good example of that with Maya Business.

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:32.719
<v Speaker 2>It didn't really have a big marketing push compared it

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 2>to the other shows and mounts, and I noticed that.

0:37:35.120 --> 0:37:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, So, me and Danielle Dominique, the

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:40.440
<v Speaker 2>other co creator of the show, we was like, Okay,

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>we need to drop this in our group chets. We

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>need to tell our family members and different people to

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 2>watch it because they're not really pushing it out there,

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and like you said, people need to see it at

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.280
<v Speaker 2>least six to eight times. So our family was posting

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:54.680
<v Speaker 2>in our alumni groups, and she was in a sorority.

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Her sorority was posting it and supporting it. And that's

0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>how I was able to become the higher original premiere

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 2>ever and Bounce history was word of mouth and telling

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 2>people versus them putting together this whole marketing plan because

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 2>it didn't get the huge marketing rollout that it should

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 2>have gotten.

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, agreed. Why I've learned so much from you.

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for cooking for us. I respectfully

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 1>know it was like making mad jokes about your dish,

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like it was like a wealth of

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.360
<v Speaker 1>knowledge and full transparency on a super rocky road that

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine has been like really emotional. Yeah,

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I think because I feel like I would have twitched

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times.

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:38.719
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people would have crashed out by now,

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 2>gave up. But it's what else Mama gonna do if

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't do this.

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So are you getting emotional?

0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I little bit why.

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just curious.

0:38:48.239 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just been I'm sorry, it's just been a

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 2>long it's been a heart. It doesn't seem like it's

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 2>been a long journey, but it's been a long journey,

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's been really hard just trying to, you know,

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>stay and stay on the right track. Because it's easily

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.479
<v Speaker 2>it's easy to get discourage, it's easy to get feel

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 2>like you're never gonna achieve anything. And I feel like

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.800
<v Speaker 2>because I was able to at least get something done,

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 2>it's given me the motivation to keep going. Okay, I

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 2>was able to do this when I was in this position,

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I know I can do more now.

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 1>So what are the things that make you doubt yourself?

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Because I completely completely empathize with at least you have

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:32.280
<v Speaker 1>these markers saying I took an idea and I'd proven

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that I was able to land it and other people

0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 1>were able to profit. What was the thing that makes

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you constantly have to tell yourself to

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:42.720
<v Speaker 1>try again or not give up or not pivot.

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I honestly feel like it's just it's not me. But

0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 2>then like I know I can do it. I can

0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 2>see it in my head, like I know, Okay, this

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 2>could be real. It's just things that's out of my

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 2>control that I can't control that kind of makes me

0:39:57.160 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 2>doubt myself. I'm like, dang, because they're not high in

0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:02.040
<v Speaker 2>this show got canceled, this is show I wanted to

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:05.439
<v Speaker 2>write on, and things like that discouraged me and make

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 2>me doubt, Okay, why am I doing this? But then

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like I always remind myself, what else will I

0:40:11.680 --> 0:40:14.319
<v Speaker 2>am I willing to do if I'm not doing this

0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.160
<v Speaker 2>that will make me content, that will not have me

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 2>living in regret.

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And what's the answer. Nothing?

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Nothing. So it's like I had no choice but to

0:40:23.160 --> 0:40:26.800
<v Speaker 2>do what I'm doing, try to keep going in pursuing.

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It, and then how do you manage your finances through

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that whole process.

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.239
<v Speaker 2>I gotta work sometimes, I gotta work jobs that's not

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>as oh I'm on set. No, I'm actually doing customer

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 2>service work.

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:40:40.000 --> 0:40:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And you know it's jobs that you ideally don't

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 2>want to do and you never know what This industry

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 2>is very unpredictable. I got laid off at FUSE in January,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 2>so I've been just trying to hustle to try to

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:54.000
<v Speaker 2>keep up so I can stay here because I don't

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 2>want to leave here and not accomplish what I set

0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:58.719
<v Speaker 2>out to do here before I go back home. So

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I have to find ways to make money.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I think that's the reality of it all.

0:41:05.719 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I personally hold on like three jobs, right, Yeah. I

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>tell people like only in La you meet people that

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>work a forty hours job, get off uber and then

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:19.719
<v Speaker 1>they side side house so it's babysitting, and that is

0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the normal here.

0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. That was being when I was confused. I was

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 2>working full time and then I was working part time

0:41:24.680 --> 0:41:26.480
<v Speaker 2>because it was like, let me pay this stuff off,

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.400
<v Speaker 2>like to do the loans that way I can take

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 2>out another loan so I could do the short film

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:33.799
<v Speaker 2>or do anohing, a little animated something, some type of

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:35.879
<v Speaker 2>product of my own. So that was like my whole thing.

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like working to get stuff paid off so

0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I can take out not the loan and dude.

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Yeah, I think that God left these accolades at

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the right time for you to know like you're heading power.

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.080
<v Speaker 1>It has to be that God. Hey, I know this

0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:57.879
<v Speaker 1>road looks rocky as hell, but don't forget you had

0:41:57.920 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 1>this and you brought it to life. I think the

0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>creators the greatest thing someone could ever do is be

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.720
<v Speaker 1>like the imitation of God. Have a vision for something

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and create it and give it life like something that

0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 1>no one thought to exist. Or you were just like

0:42:11.280 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 1>bringing an idea to life, as to me is like beautiful.

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>But who else see you? Thank you, Thank you for

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the vulnerability.

0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm never.

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Eats and cheese for breakfast, please Lord, Please, No, I

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 1>take that back, because you you say something like that,

0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:31.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna end up eating it.

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:35.600
<v Speaker 2>So no, I'll take it back. Take it back. It's

0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 2>not my favorite dish.

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But like I say on this show, the broke of

0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the dish the better. The story in this story was

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:45.239
<v Speaker 1>truly amazing and inspiring, and I love that you're vulnerabile

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:49.320
<v Speaker 1>about it. Where can everybody keep up with Danielle Solomon?

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:52.799
