Ep. 1: Tina Cesa Ward - writer/director

In Episode 1 of Her Process, I chat with award winning writer director, Tina Cesa Ward.  Tina, along with Susan Miller, won the first ever Writers Guild of America Award for Original New Media for her hit indie drama series "Anyone But Me". Tina gives us a little insight into how she's always writing, even when she's not writing. We talk about the different hats she wears on her web series productions, how she creates characters, and we discuss labels people find themselves saddled with in the entertainment industry. She also answers the question, "To improvise, or not to improvise?" (We may or may not have differing opinions on this one. Ha!)

I met Tina several years ago at an event for the International Academy of Web Television. She was living in New York at the time, and I was living here in Los Angeles. Over the next few years we'd see each other at various web series events and we became friendly.  It wasn't until Tina relocated to Los Angeles around 2014 that we had the chance to hang out more, go on countless hikes and Secret Stair walks and become real friends, and now she's one of my dearest. I hope you have as much fun listening to this chat as we had recording it. 🩶
