Producer, Writer, Mentor, Funder
What was your first film job…?
I was commercial actress. (First and last time!)
What other jobs have you done on set…?
Producer, schlepper, set designer, interviewer, writer…. A long while back I coined the phrase “short ends” and began buying and selling film ends left over after production. Those low-end prices helped nurture the independent film community. Of late, I’ve been providing film grants through The Roy W. Deal Grant Foundation. My job is more than giving away money – I think I’m helping build dreams.
Who was your mentor…?
I’ve learned so much from the hundreds of brilliant filmmakers who have applied for my grants.
What was your last project…?
BAM 6.6 - Humanity Has No Borders is a feature length documentary. It's the story of Tobb Dell’Oro who takes Adele Freedman to Bam Iran to propose to her at the ancient citadel. On the first night, their hotel collapses and they are buried in the earthquake that killed 30,000 people. This is a story of love, loss, survival and most importantly, the heart of the Iranian people. The filmmaker, Jahangir Golestan, will be at the screening for discussion on funding and filmmaking in turbulent times. Screening time is 7:30pm on 11/29 at Raleigh Studios. Please come.
