Often times in life we have to take our fate into our own hands. Actually our fate is always in our own hands, we have to accept responsibility for it. I have spent the last year understanding that and embracing it. During this time I have taken on more film roles and more producing jobs. Finally, I have written my own script called "Organ Donor" and will set about producing it in San Francisco the summer of 2011.
In order to pay for the production I have created a fundraiser that transforms me into a pin-up. The final product is a pin-up calendar for 2011, entitled what else? Badass Nika Brown. We finished all the photography last week and now I have to get them into a calendar layout and in the hands of hungry customers.
As luck would have it, when it rains it pours. I produced a short film called Veterans in January 2010. The film walked away with a Faculty Selects Award (Top 7 of 50), Best Female Director, and Best Cinematographer awards last week at the Columbia University Film Festival. The cast and crew is very excited and looking forward to a successful festival run for the 2011-2012 season.
All in all, it was a damn good week. I don't want to take over the world, just my little corner of it. ;-)
