Ladies in Film & Television is a remarkable nonprofit organization dedicated to recognizing and supporting independent artists in Texas's film and television industry. Since its inception, the organization has been a beacon of encouragement, shining a spotlight on the creative talents that often go unnoticed in the mainstream.In 2023, the organization celebrated its 1st annual award show, a glamorous event filled with anticipation and excitement. It was during this prestigious ceremony that I had the honor of winning the award for Best Short Film"HIM". This accolade was more than just a recognition of my hard work; it was a validation of my artistic vision and a stepping stone in my career. The award not only boosted my confidence but also connected me with a community of like-minded individuals passionate about storytelling.Shortly after receiving this esteemed award, I was thrilled to become a male member of Ladies in Film & Television. This inclusion marked a significant milestone for me, as I joined a diverse and vibrant group committed to fostering creativity and innovation in the industry. Being part of this organization allowed me to contribute to its mission and collaborate with talented women who were breaking boundaries and setting new standards in film and television.As the year progressed, the anticipation for the next award show grew. In 2024, during the 2nd annual ceremony, I had the immense honor of being a presenter. Standing on that stage, addressing an audience of passionate and dedicated artists, was an unforgettable experience. It was a moment of profound gratitude and a testament to the inclusive and supportive nature of Ladies in Film & Television.The experience as a presenter deepened my appreciation for the organization and its impact. It was inspiring to see the diverse array of talent being celebrated and to witness firsthand the organization's commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all artists. This event reinforced my desire to continue working with Ladies in Film & Television on future projects.Looking ahead, I am eager to embark on more collaborative ventures with the incredible members of this organization. Together, we can create impactful and meaningful work that continues to elevate the independent film and television scene in Texas. It is an honor to be part of such a dedicated and inspiring community, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.
This organization has provided me an entire network of like minded people to collaborate with. They have helped me step outside my box with more confidence!
Ladies in Film & Television is a great organization that helps individuals of all ages learn and grow in the film and television industry. The Masterclasses are full of knowledge and hands on learning activities.
I love LIFT because it encourages all of its members to be the best version of themselves. The organization takes both women and men that may have not had the opportunities in the industry to grow due to lack of opportunities. LIFT embrace, promote and encourage everyone to get up and DO IT! Just recently they hosted a web series and gathered actors from all across the world to talk about current events by acting it out.
COVID-19 has taken a toll on us all…but to see actors from Egypt, London and America join together was amazing!
Jeanette is one of the most compassionate and dedicated people that I know. Her commitment to the things affecting women and children are truly outstanding! When my children were small they participated in one of her plays and it left a great impact on their hearts and for the art of acting. Thank Jeanette for shining a light on the things that are devastating our communities. Thank you for the excellence that you continue to exude in everything you do.
Headline Mentors and Performing Arts is an asset to the Youth of today. I have seen the reach that this organization has by mentoring and teaching kids how to express themselves in a productive way. The youth of today are exposed to so many creative and social outlets, so being able to not only reach but engage with them in a creative, yet productive, manner is amazing. Keep it up!
Headline Mentor is exceptional with helping adolescents find there purpose in life and set goals and plans for reaching their full potentials in life.
The work that’s done at Headline Mentors is life changing. My daughter has been a part of this program for years she’s more outgoing and confident because of the workshops and events hosted by Headline Mentors. I’ve been involved as an adult and have benefited in more ways than I can list. We highly Headline Mentors be offered in schools or adjacent to youth counseling to boost self esteem and self awareness. I could go on and on I use need to do a video testimonial. We are better at what we do because of Headline Mentors.
The past three years have been so hard for me. I lost my brother, and one of my closest friends to suicide. I was also fighting depression, and barely living. I lost so much and didn’t want to continue. I didn’t want to sing, write, or be around family or friends. So just when I was going to let my depression take over and give up, HMPA came and surprised me with a life changing opportunity. A music video AND a memorial for my brother was all given to me by HMPA and it’s affiliates. Jeanette saw my pain and my talent and decided to create a team for me to help me share my story to the world! All volunteered to help make my story come alive. Not only is she helping me share my story and my voice, but she also helped me by giving me a chance to see that I wasn’t alone and that my life is worth fighting for. Jeanette and HMPA has done so much for me and has never asked for anything return. Im beyond blessed and grateful for HMPA!!
My 11 y.o. daughter has been with this organization for the last 4 1/2 years. Her self confidence was boosted by the acting program to begin with but when the radio personality became part of the program she is more eagered than ever before. Mrs. Greenwood is an inspiration and motivator for these kids to bring out their brightest light.
I have been a part of Headline Mentors & Performing Arts since 2014. I only have incredible testimonies to share about this wonderful organization.
Since I joined their organization, they mentored me to be the best version of myself and they supported me in every way, from asking to how I was doing to congratulating me for my accomplishments.
This organization is truly a blessing to be a part of.
It is honoring to say that I've been a member of AFAGC/ HMPA since 2014. AFAGC/ HMPA utilizes acting and life skills to empower and teach youth to value others as they would value themselves. They offer many opportunities that some may imagine inconceivable. Thanks to this phenomenal organization, I have been offered opportunities to be a part of 3 movies (where I wrote my own) , 2 commercials and 2 plays. The mentors have always been supporting and carrying. They motivate us to do our best and to reach for our goals.
