Moving On

Before MOVING ON, we were those writers who talked about the projects we wanted to make, but never did. As first time director/producers, we can tell you unequivocally that our statement is… this shit is hard. But it’s also the most rewarding thing we’ve ever done. And, as a team, we believe we bring something special to the process.

As a writing and directing team, we bring a writer’s mind and a directors eye – meaning we’re able to communicate both our vision in terms of character and story (key in getting actor performances you need) and get our point across visually. We also bring a collaborative spirit. Of course we do… there’s two of us! Our being happily married almost a decade (gross, right?) reflects that. It’s the director who sets the tone on set. Some people mistake the word director for dictator, but when you go to work with your best friend, the vibe is just different. We love each other and what we do; it’s important to us that everyone else love it, too.

Beyond that, as a duo, we bring both the male and female perspective to a single vision. That diverse perspective is important to us in all areas. In MOVING ON, we peopled our crew not only with a 50-50 split male to female, but a multi-ethnic one as well. With over a decade of experience working in scripted and unscripted TV, we know the roles everyone – from PA to Department Head – play in making the finished product come out right. Because of that, we appreciate those roles and we make sure to show it.

With advances in technology allowing some truly intricate shooting at a cost friendlier to the independent filmmaker’s budget, we’re seeing a world where people like us can continue to create content on our own. It’s incredibly exciting to see and something we urgently want to be a part of continuing.
