Excited to feature filmmaker @Serena_Schuler in our latest episode. Serena switched from tech to filmmaking. We talk about craft, taking risks, & using her previous tech experience as inspo for the characters, fundraising, & distribution of @MakeshiftSoc buff.ly/2ZLKH39
The cast takes a break in between camera setups. They were such pros especially on this day, when we filmed the longest scene of the pilot. 🎥🎬🌟#TBT #behindthescenes #actorslife #MakeshiftSocietySeries #pilotepisode

Women script writers are more likely to write about women and men are more likely to write about men. Wow human nature prevails. If we want gender diversity in films we need more funded women writers @cinefemme #MindTheGap @MakeshiftSoc
Feminist, spiritual, and eccentric, Ames is the founder and leader of Makeshift Society, a haven for creatives and tech founders in the heart of Oakland. Played by the incomparable Hayley Goldstein. #MakeshiftSocietySeries

Many people have asked me how I did it. So, this is my journey of writing, directing, fundraising, & creating the series Makeshift Society. Why I decided to veer off the *normal* path, and how I learned to be a showrunner. What's your #NoGreenLight story? medium.com/@serenaschuler/no…
