Roadtrip Nation – A Director

I chose to report on Gina Prince-Bythewood, a director who has worked on a variety of projects. She stood out to me for her decision to appeal her denial from film school, which I wasn’t really aware was something that could be done!

Christian Troy.

Christian Troy is the executive-director of Waves for Water, an international NGO working to bring clean drinking water developing countries and other places worldwide after natural disasters. In his own words he says,

“traveling, surfing, storytelling, I love that component of it. Politics, dealing with governments and the culture of politics in these places. And helping people. This job is tailored to the greatest things that I can do on a daily basis.”

Beth McCarthy Miller – Director

Beth McCarthy Miller, New York director who has directed and produced “ROCK,” “MTV Video Music Awards” and many popular shows.
When she was an intern at MTV, a director told her, “You should be a director.
She believes keep doing what want to do, and efforts will be rewarded. My favorite quote she said was, “Not every experience is gonna be a ‘wow,’ but it might open up the doors to something else.”
