Thresa Richardson: Actor, director and producer in Los Angeles, California.

Tequila Mockingbird Prods. won some awfully pretty awards at the 2019 #ShowLowFilmFestival. I am mighty proud of all the people that worked to make this so.

May 2020 put more project pins in the calendar (and pennies in the bank) for more of the same!

As a first time female filmmaker over 50 I’ve spent the last few years learning (only online must they call it lurking) from peering over the grand shoulders of others in the industry, many associated with Stage 32 and elsewhere.

I’ve been a storyteller for decades mostly as writer and actress, adding producer and director credits after the bonfire of candles started to show up on my birthday cakes.

Three of my children’s chapter books were published by a mom and pop (really a mom and mom) publisher before online and big box stores killed small publishers and independent bookstores. Self-publishing wasn’t my cup of tea, so I instead fashioned an advice column based on my drive-time radio experience ‘Afternoon T’ which is now published in a SoCal circular. 

A couple of years ago I put my toe in the water of script writing and started making short films. As a lifelong actress (No, really… I went to the Strasberg school of acting while still in junior high. I’m one of those Method people), being behind the camera was a whole new kettle of fish as I was encouraged to try producing and directing, too. My production team is Tequila Mockingbird and we can be found at tmockingbird.com

My best days are the 12-16 hour ones spent in pre-production, production and post. There isn’t one element I don’t love. [Well, maybe script supervising. I’m the worst script supervisor ever.] So, I’m always looking for the next project and chance to collaborate.

As if this long-winded intro weren’t enough, an embarrassing amount of updates on projects can be found on my website AfternoonT.co 

Hi Thresa. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
