Advice I'd Give to My Younger Self.

Be unapologetic about your presence. Never enter a room with your head lowered. Hold your head up like you are proud to be who you are. Take up space. Be bold in your actions. Let your voice be heard.

You don't have to be perfect. Get over perfectionism and the fear of being embarrassed. Learn to own all your flaws and insecurities and continue to do what you love.

What other people say mean nothing. Never loose sleep over anyone’s opinion of you. They are not God and they don't define you.

Believe in yourself. You can be successful just like those people you look up to. You have what it takes. Hone your skills and be great too.

Appreciate your unique gifts and qualities. Stop comparing yourself to others and changing yourself to fit in. Always stay true to yourself.

THE PICKET LINE: A ROAD TO PAY EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY - WOODSTOCK FILM FESTIVAL

SPEAKERS: Neil Gaiman, Dana Weissman, Jo Miller

MODERATOR: Thelma Adams

The Creative Industry has been radically transformed in the last several years due to the pandemic, economic turmoil, advances in digital technology, and production efficiencies.

Yet, creators of content, writers, actors, and many others that are instrumental to media development are still struggling to ensure economic sustainability.

To date, over 11,000 writers and 150,000 members of SAG AFTRA have taken up protest to be heard and galvanize change.

Come hear as the experts and those on the front lines, union members from Writers Guild of America East (WGAE), and Screen Actors Guild/ Aftra, discuss what has been done to update contracts that no longer serve current working conditions, and a critical look at what the public can do to support their efforts.

New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) advocates for equality in the moving image industry and supports women in every stage of their careers. An entertainment industry association for women in New York, NYWIFT energizes women by illuminating their achievements, presenting training and professional development programs, awarding scholarships and grants, and providing access to a supportive community of peers.

To learn more about NYWIFT please visit: www.nywift.org. Please become a member and join the movement of women to ensure women gain their rightful place in the media and entertainment industry.

Your primary audience is you.

No-one writes like you do. No-one draws like you do. No-one is creative like you are.

You are unique.

It's hard sometines, real hard, to not look at others and wish you were as a good as them. It's easy to give up. To shout "why bother" or "no-one cares".

You bother. You care.

That's why you sit at your keyboard, or pick up your paintbrush.

You are as good as they are. Some might argue you're better. It doesn't matter what they think. They don't define you.

Numbers are emotionless, they don't care.

Some do bother. Some do care. Some worship you silently. Some live for your next piece. Some are inspired by you.

Even if it's only one person you touch with your words or art, surely that's worth it?

You are unique.

No-one writes like you do. No-one draws like you do. No-one is creative like you are.

You are unique.

Do it for you. Do it because you love it. Do it because it excites you. Do it because it makes you happy.

Your primary audience is you.

The rest of them are an added bonus.

🖤

YOU. ARE. STRONGER. THAN. YOU. THINK. 🖤

Do you. Then do Dieter.

Self-Care with Dieter & Jett

You not a real artist if you not supporting the next artist

Most people are sleeping during the hrs of 23:00-04:00.

This creates an abundance of unused spiritual energy, which makes productivity and manifesting so much more powerful.

So to my fellow creatives out there, we must use this energy for our art. This is the best time for us to pour into our craft without disruption and with the highest energy efficiency.

This is basically the Law of Conservation—no energy can be created or destroyed, just redirected. So the world consistently has the same amount of energy present, let’s just use it to our benefit.

The world belongs to those who create.

Don’t let the fear of looking stupid hold you back from going after what you truly desire.

"art is not about capturing PERFECTION it is about capturing HONESTY OF A MOMENT. because perfection does not exist but raw honesty and connection to this ever passing timeline does. we are here grabbing life out of the stream and holding it in our hands to cry out I WAS HERE." -Chuck Tingle
