Experiencing Interruptions?

Half Way

Hide your alcohol, husbands, and sex-toys, Chicks Making Flicks is coming to a suburb near you with their first comedic web-series, Half Way! Created by CMF founder Harmony Smith and screenwriter Tania Penn, Half Way centers around Glenda, a well meaning but inept social worker, who takes women of various backgrounds that are trying to overcome different addictions, into her halfway house to attempt to rehabilitate them. But, it's easier said than done, as none of the women ever pay her any mind, causing chaos and comedic situations to ensue, and putting the F-U in dysfunctional!

Director Biography - Jon Mayfield

Jon Mayfield is a professional filmmaker from Texas. During Jon’s
college years at Texas A&M university, the factory where his father worked was closed unexpectedly. Jon had to put his studies in sociology and speech communications on hold, leaving the D-1 football team, and joining the workforce. Knowing from a young age that filmmaking was the life path destined for him, Jon immediately began his professional climb in film through the ranks of the 35mm camera department. Word of mouth appreciation of his work allowed him to make a successful and momentous acceleration through the specialized positions. He has since made a multitude of independent features, the majority of which he worked as cinematographer. But a desire to make a larger impact in the film world made him make a switch of his professional track towards writing and directing. He relocated from Texas out to Los Angeles where he has been 2nd unit directing on Lifetime-and Hallmark-sanctioned films as well as 1st AD’ing their main units. His passion and goal is to make character driven projects that are solidly entertaining. Jon is thrilled to join forces with Chicks Making Flicks for this hilarious new web series.
