BEYOND ACTING -

 

Festival Co-Director, Eric Michael Kochmer, talks to 3 multi hyphenate artists, Vivian Kerr, Stephanie Sanditz and Roberta Sparta about their journey in the entertainment industry. The one thing that these three artists have in common is that they started as actors in high profile film and television projects, but in the last few years they have progressed into other roles and jobs along the hierarchy. Vivian is the director of 2 feature films in the past 3 years, Stephanie is a working screen writer and Roberta is a very sought after 1st AD and producer.
