Welcome back to I AM Radio; and while you might love QT with your girls K+K, this week we’re joined by dear friend and fellow collaborator, Ciera Thompson.
And, the mantra of this week’s episode? Just go for it.
We got a front row seat to Ciera’s own bold moves a year ago when she seized the moment at Sundance to do what creatives, and entrepreneurs alike, do best - make something out of nothing.
What do we mean?
Ciera wrote a script for a short film back in 2022. She was handed rejections, doubt - from others and self - and generally considered it a passion project she created for herself, but perhaps not a commercial success.
At Sundance, the question, “What are you working on?” kept coming up, and Ciera took the chance to boldly call herself what she was - a writer and filmmaker - working on a short about LGBTQIA+ youth.
It was as if she had a magic wand, manifesting potential out of thin air. She scored an agent and a funder by the time we left just a few days later.
By the end of the year, she ran an oversubscribed crowd-funding campaign, won Film Impact Georgia’s highest honor, and brought the film to life in the most beautiful and authentic way.
Hit play to listen along as she shares every last high and low of ‘just going for it,’ in this week’s episode of I AM Radio.
