Hustle, Heart, & Fellowships w/ Craig T. Williams, Red Wall Productions | Lost in the Lens (Ep. 2)

Описание: The "Grounded Black Family Experience" with Craig T. Williams | Lost in the Lens (Ep. 2)

Join host Vega Montañez for a powerful second episode of "Lost in the Lens" featuring veteran filmmaker Craig T. Williams. With over 25 years in the industry, Craig shares his incredible journey from the "Stone Age" of mailing VHS tapes to landing his first major TV writers' room at age 55 for the AMC/ALLBLK thriller Terror Lake Drive.

Craig pulls back the curtain on the brutal reality of Hollywood "yeses," detailing his experience winning the ABFF Best Original Pilot award only to face a "dumpster fire" of silence afterward. He offers a raw look at the Warner Brothers Discovery Access Writers Program, explaining how he survived a challenging transition period in the fellowship and used his "indie hustle" to staff himself on a hit show through a single Instagram DM.

The conversation dives deep into the "Red Wall" philosophy he shares with his wife and creative partner of 24 years, Rosalyn Coleman Williams. Craig discusses their mission to celebrate flawed, complicated, and human characters and reveals the "breaking news" of having EGOT winner Viola Davis and Julius Tennon attached as Executive Producers for his upcoming feature project.

From managing a community of 22,000 screenwriters to his personal "line in the sand" regarding his wife’s directing career, Craig provides a masterclass on career longevity, personal branding, and the power of saying "no".
