In this episode, Shivawn sits down with award winning writer, producer and director Janlatae' Mullins of Heartbeat Film Club. Her commercial credits include work with Fox, CMT, Barbie, Amazon Studios, Paramount Pictures, Bravo, Hershey's, Pantene, Nickelodeon and OWN. Her short films have won numerous awards including Best Screenplay in 2018, and the grand prize winner for her short film Soul Fire.
Janlatae' shares her story of knowing that she was suppose to direct and tell stories at the early age of 8 years old but not going to film school until later in life. How she's recognized that the process of becoming an award winning director is still unfolding and evolving.
She recounts the time that she decided she was pitching to the producer of Dawson's Creek, taking a bus to the middle of nowhere thinking this was her shot of starting her career in film. Little did she know this would be a lesson on having more than one creative idea in the bag.
