🎙️🐾 Full-circle moment!

I had the pleasure of joining The Panther Experience at PBSC for Episode #79: “From PBSC Student to Filmmaker and Professor with Charmain Johnson.”

From once being a PBSC student to becoming a filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and professor, this conversation gave me a chance to reflect on the journey—and everything I’ve learned along the way.

We talk filmmaking, the making of Mango Inn, navigating production challenges, the importance of collaboration, and what it means to come back and pour into the next generation of creatives. 🎬✨

Sometimes you don’t realize how far you’ve come until you get the opportunity to tell the story.

🐾 Once a Panther, always a Panther.
