🎙 What happens when your creative life starts feeling like a trap?Filmmaker and producer Dashawna Wright joins me to talk about what led her to leave Chicago, start over in L.A., and finally give herself permission to have a life outside of film. We talk momentum crashes, rejection fatigue, low-budget heartbreak, and how she’s learning to protect her joy—not just her resume.🎬 Dashawna’s indie credits include Daughters, Store-Run, and the upcoming feature Art of Alchemy. She’s also the founder of Choppe Productions and a longtime force in Chicago’s indie scene.👀 For anyone questioning the grind or craving a reset, this one’s a must.🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. And if you’ve ever felt like your identity was getting swallowed by your ambition… DM this to someone who gets it. by @producedbychoppe

I had the opportunity to be featured in @boldjourneymag where I opened up about my journey in the film industry; how I got started, the challenges I faced, and what it meant to be the only one who looked like me in the room. It hasn’t always been easy, but every step has shaped the storyteller I am today.Thank you @boldjourneymag for creating space to share my story. 🙏🏾Read the full interview at the link in my bio!Also, there’s a little surprise at the end of the article 👀. by @producedbychoppe

This summer I had the opportunity to be a guest teacher and share my experience with a group of talented, emerging filmmakers teaching them about marketing and post production. Thank you so much @freespiritchi for the opportunity 🫶🏾 Y’all the next generation of filmmakers are already here and they’re super creative and talented. I can’t wait to see what they do next! ❤️Shout out to @cottagegroveproductions and @mdvs_music for being guest speakers and also sharing your knowledge and resources! 🙏🏾 by @producedbychoppe
