the work in progress
Choosing a career in television and film is a worthwhile endeavor. The journey is filled with highs, lows, and extremes that require agility and the ability to sustain one’s craft creatively, physically, and mentally…over long periods of time. We consider this artistic integrity.
Maintaining artistic integrity requires passion and persistence when actively working, and even more so when one is ‘outside the gig’. This is a foundational and often misunderstood aspect of being a screen artist, regardless of success. aws membership provides a platform to keep your flame alive!
Our membership community is filled with committed, professional, and aspirational human beings who are actors, writers, directors, producers and multi-hyphenates. We have speakers, challenges, artistic cleanses, mess projects, and just enough structure to keep you on your game without feeling overwhelmed or obligated. Staying consistent ‘outside the gig’ directly impacts ‘the gig’...let’s band together to change the world through our art, and sustain creative passion daily while doing so.
We are an inclusive membership community of screen artists dedicated to sustaining and expanding craft practice consistently while balancing professional integrity. We hold sacred the values of individual and collective curiosity as well as personal responsibility towards an uplifting, focused, and dynamic environment. aws provides a platform to share knowledge and invite thought leadership among industry professionals, access exclusive offerings, and thrive with fellow artists.
