Happy Winter Solstice and
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” 🎄
Client Project: Foodcycler
Feeling proud of how my client projects have turned out this year. For Local Eyes Video Production, I went the extra mile in developing multiple concepts for two short scripts for their client Foodcycler - who liked them so much they want to make two more videos from the ideas we didn’t use yet. Nice for the work to be appreciated, and validates my philosophy: “Underpromise, over-deliver.” 😊
Had an awesome time this year fine-tuning several of my own screenplays and teaching my Soulful Screenwriting workshop at The Film Hub in Vista, CA. Through teaching I had the opportunity to further deepen my understanding of narrative storytelling. I was touched by this review from a participant:
“From the first guided meditation I fell in love with this class. We creatives often find ourselves caught up in the maze of ideas, grappling with the fear of the unknown, which leads to procrastination. This was exactly the state I was in when I started the class. Laurie created a safe space where I can explore my passion and my ideas.” - Elena K.
There’s one more session scheduled for Wednesday, January 10 at 5:30pm. If you are local enough and would like to join us, sign up on Eventbrite.
⚡️ ENCOURAGEMENT + ACCOUNTABILITY + SELF-CARE = FORWARD MOTION for CREATIVES ⚡️
I have a passion for empowering creativity. This led me to design a program to help a talented writer friend stay on track with her writing, and overcome internal blocks and self-doubts getting in the way of her progress. It includes creative coaching, story consulting, encouraging reminders, and guided meditation. I can offer this one-on-one, three-month program to a few more creatives, so if this sounds like a good way to start the year, book a free Spark Session to learn more and discuss a customized plan.
