class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When I was younger, I wanted to be the first woman to win an Academy Award for directing. I even had those words taped on my computer. A do-or-die mentality. All or nothing. The pressure I put on myself was immense.<\/p><p>Spielberg just recently gave advice to a young filmmaker on SGN, \u201cBe in service of your dream, everything else will fall in place as long as you just serve the dream.\u201d After years of inner struggle and strife to \u201cmake it big,\u201d his conjecture brought me a sigh of overwhelming relief. Just serve and stop obsessing about the results. But could I really do that?<\/p><p>I\u2019ve had a love affair with film and TV from the womb. I always kicked mom when \u201cI Love Lucy\u201d came on. At age six, I snuck behind the couch to watch Johnny Carson. At nine I was caught on occasion directing an invisible Howard Cosell.<\/p><p>When I landed my first PA job on Nickelodeon\u2019s \u201cKids\u2019 Choice Awards,\u201d I knew I was on my way. For the next five years I worked my butt off PAing, running locations, directing second unit on low budget films and directing my own shorts. Executive Producer Sean McNamara saw my drive and passion and fought for me to direct his hit series \u201cEven Stevens\u201d at a time when women accounted for only 7% of directors being hired in television. Boom, dream come true. DGA Director! Yes! He saw I had the talent to support my intense work ethic. I went on to direct many episodes on that series as well as his other shows such as Disney Channel\u2019s \u201cThat\u2019s So Raven,\u201d and Whoopi Goldberg\u2019s Nickelodeon show \u201cJust for Kicks.\u201d Sean also granted me access into the mind of an executive producer and the challenges they face. This learning experience taught me empathy and respect. I have never gone over budget on any of my shows or with my clients. Never. I believe in throwing creativity at a problem, not money.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b039790 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"b039790\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-385e9ef elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"385e9ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8f748eb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8f748eb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-701d07a elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"701d07a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-174afa2 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"174afa2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-69d24de\" data-id=\"69d24de\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c83af25 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c83af25\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-style: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-style ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-text-letter-spacing );\">My diligence to succeed earned me the opportunity to shadow MartyScorsese on the set of \u201cThe Departed.\u201d I expected to take a deeper dive into the craft of filmmaking and learn from the best. Which I did, yet by observing him I walked away with a much more valuable life lesson. We are all vulnerable, we are all equal. I was blown away by arguably the best filmmaker of our time wearing his vulnerability on his sleeve. Marty wasn\u2019t a dictator barking at his crew and actors, but this kind and humble human who created and asked for approval from all of his collaborators. Leadership at its finest. His set was filled with respect for everyone, and egos were checked at the stage door.<\/span><\/p><p>I later expanded my skill set by jumping the line over to reality and magazine style shows like \u201cWhat Not to Wear\u201d which landed me my first pilot. It was another milestone in my career. I have fond memories of being stuffed in a trunk of a car feeding our actors their lines while almost passing out from car sickness! But well worth it. Our \u201cMaking Over America\u201d pilot was picked up by CBS, and our goal was accomplished.<\/p><p>My only regret in life is that I didn\u2019t work on \u201cThe Amazing Race\u201d sooner when I had the opportunity. The crew was at the top of their game. It was a life changing experience, and I was honored to be among them. I worked in production all over the world. I learned how to work with diverse groups of people and was moved by the human condition and how we are all so different yet the same. I applaud the producers who entrusted me with executing on a massive budget episode with water work, stunts and wild animals. The show pushed me to my limits creatively, strategically and physically. I know now that I can direct anything that is thrown at me while being able to make split second decisions in any circumstance. \u201cThe Amazing Race\u201d was not a show for the weak\u2026or pregnant.<\/p><p>Yep, my time at \u201cThe Amazing Race\u201d was cut short too soon. I was pregnant. And on a plane home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-652f8f5 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"652f8f5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a583528\" data-id=\"a583528\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5e0f90 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5e0f90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size ); font-style: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-style ); font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-text-letter-spacing );\">I tackled motherhood like any other production. I dove in headfirst, gave 98% of my time, attention, creativity and compassion, and learned compromise on a whole other level. I never could have imagined that everything I learned from my career could be of use to me at this time in my life.<\/span>\n\nAnd with that 2%, I started a local production company that produces marketing films for nonprofit organizations.\n\nSo here I am now, with my dream of directing television again tugging on my t-shirt. \u201cCome back. I need you! You need me!\u201d Yet as I begin my comeback, I sit here in anguish\u2026\n\nWill I be punished for being a mother? Shooting local to raise your kids? Will I be judged for my choice? What other microaggressions will I face? Are you saying moms can\u2019t direct action?\n\nHoney, I&#8217;m an Italian American from Jersey. I know action.\n\nAnd now, I&#8217;m also a businesswoman who gets it. So if you want your project, film or series to be a great success, bring me on board. I&#8217;ll check your box for, \u201cExperienced and talented female director who can lead any crew through times of uncertainty &#8212; on time and under budget on multiple episodes.\u201d\n\nWhile I get busy serving my dream telling stories that move people, I\u2019m going to continue to hone my craft, surround myself with people who understand it and make the world a better place one story at a time.
