People think all 13 year old girls write in their diaries is poetry about cute boys. My notebooks were always filled with concepts for film music and the hit movies I would direct around them. Silly, serious, grown up, forever young, comedic, lesson telling. Everything took place in the dream world, Wonderland, connected to other tales in tiny puzzle pieces.When I was 14, seeing a Kiwi couple from outside of the mainstream Hollywood system make a little known film series called The Lord of the Rings made me believe that I could come from anywhere, live anywhere, and do what they did when I was older. My career loves of my life are James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and the one and only Hans Zimmer. Mr. Zimmer's talent is widely documented. It's what he stands for to me with building his brands and his very Pixar's Ratatouille style approachable persona that anyone can make music that made younger me see he is one of the coolest people ever in Hollywood.Age 18. I "co-founded" my film company, Lucky Pineapple Films, and its subsidiaries, CinematNIC and Animationsaurus!, with The Roswell Aliens on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The goal was to be non-ALIENating for all of our projects. To inspire in what people read, watched, and did. Easier said than done. I started with selling things like glass cutting boards. What were The Roswell Aliens doing outside of New Mexico, you ask? They really love Tex-Mex.I was that teen girl then twentysomething always asking everyone who ever made a major film or who worked for someone who did how to do it. Going around NYC and everywhere, I checked out the filming locations from past cinematic works, demoed hair/makeup/wardrobe ideas, scouted precise filming locations and imagined visuals there so my own big time films would someday be ready, went out of my way to meet people so I could start figuring out who would in time work with me for FX teams and more, and whatever I was told to start doing because one day, you'll be too known to get away with your film research.Age 34. Got my first music distribution deal. After that, started getting my film scoring music placed in work from people who weren't myself.My filmmaking has gone from no budget movies I self animated to no budget works made with the collaboration of others to, fingers crossed, my first ever real budgeted productions.I am always writing the screenplay that is my life story.
