Filmmaker Tamika Miller is an episodic, award-winning commercial and film director/writer.  She’s directed the NBC television drama QUANTUM LEAP, THE EQUALIZER for CBS and STATION 19 for ABC/Shondaland. We chat about her indie feature HONOR STUDENT, a thriller starring Emmy-Nominated actress Kelly Jenrette (The Handmaid’s Tale) and actor Hudson Yang (Fresh Off the Boat).

My wife and I loved “Honor Student” at the Pan African Film Festival and Tamika has been tearing up the festival circuit ever since. This chat is a masterclass on making your indie film by serving the storytelling with creativity and craft.

45 minutes in, we chat about diversity, all the initiatives and their worth. It’s eye opening and love Tamika’s candor and perspective.

She is currently in pre-production for her much-anticipated feature film UNDERCARD, starring actress/comedienne Wanda Sykes in her first dramatic role. On the commercial front, SHOOT Magazine chose Tamika as a ‘Director to Watch,’ and presented her work at the Directors Guild of America in New York.

Sister Christian Kendrick and Lawrence T. Lewis are in-demand producers that find time to host an excellent podcast called the Producers Happy Hour. (My episode is here and it’s a gem.) Each has worked all over the world and at every major production company going back a few decades. They share irreverent and brutally honest insights about the film production industry. Check it out here and well as a new course “The Art of Script Breakdown“. I gobble up their production tips on TikTok and IG. Follow them and learn!

Another fun podcast for commercial directors is my pal Jaime Cabrera’s Confessions of a Creative Director everywhere you pod. Oh, and of course, Just Shoot It  with Matt Enlow and Oren Kaplan is always a must, especially my latest chat with them just out this week.

Hayden5 was dreamt up on the fifth floor of NYU’s Hayden Hall in 2005. As film school freshman, Milos Silber and Todd Wiseman Jr, became collaborators, conquering the challenges of scrappy, New York City production. Today, Hayden5 is a powerful in video production, offering soup to nuts services. Todd explains the company’s unique approach that allowed them to scale big time, and still offer consistent quality filmmaking. Peep the showreel:

From Video Drop Kits to standardized production guidelines for global crews to their Cloud Cuts, Todd has been a jagguernaut in the space. Here’s a nice 2022 article on them in Fast Company you’ll appreciate, “most innovative video company.”
