Directing Christina Collard

SUNFLOWER CARE TV Pilot promo shoot came alive with the help of our wonderful cast and crew. It was more fun than I could have imagined.

Christina Collard

There is nothing that Christina Collard can’t make funny.

But besides that, she makes everyone comfortable. She has more energy than a child.

And she’s kind. I’m so grateful to have her on set.

Hugs to you, Christina!

Producer/Director Partners Cheat Death Productions

I have a streak of perfectionism, but it’s directed at myself only.

 

I don’t request perfectionism from anyone around me. I only have power over myself. Everyone else has to do what they have to do.

(Which often leads to me doing more than I maybe should, ya think?)

BUT… having an entertainment partner who demands perfection is… PERFECT for me.

Diana Richardson, producer extraordinaire, is my partner in crime or comedy or drama. Whatever the day demands. She is a little bulldog (and I love bulldogs!!!!!) in her determination to get things right… always right!

Diana & Debi

I LOVE THAT about her!

Thank you, Diana, for who you are and all you do. I don’t think I can ever adequately express how much you mean to me.
