Hi, I’m Alicia!

MY LIFE BEFORE THE FIF CRAFT CERTIFICATION PROGRAM:

Before the FIF program I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do in the industry. I had moved to Texas after receiving my degree in Biological Sciences and was working in Finance. After 2 years of hating my job and where I was in life I decided to make some changes. I quit my corporate finance job to become an actor but needed to make money and connections. I didn’t know where to start, what to do and my savings was being depleted quickly. I was stressed, unmotivated and lost. Living in Dallas, I thought I would need to move to a larger market to make a living. Then I found this awesome woman (Janet) speaking about how I could have a successful career in film with no previous experience and without having to go to film school.

MY LIFE NOW!

I started FIF in August of 2015 and within 2 months I was on a feature film making over $300/day. Nothing I do could have been possible without Janet’s help and guidance. Now I make 100% of my income from the film industry here in Texas working as a camera assistant, camera operator and drone operator. The bulk of my work comes from commercials and corporate videos. I travel over 50% of the year. The most memorable trip was in February 2017 when I was paid to go to Hawaii as a camera operator! I am one of a handful of women that work in the camera department in Dallas. I served on the Women In Film Dallas Board of Directors in 2017 and produced a Public Service Announcement. My work on the board and within the organization lead to my election as the 2018 WIF Dallas Vice President. Every day I learn something new and absolutely love what I do. I’m excited to work and have found my passion. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, especially if you are starting out in a smaller market (i.e. outside of NY, LA or Atlanta).

Here, I am with my luggage and we were traveling to Ruidoso, NM for a show called “Ride on the Road”. I was one of three camera operators on this project but the only one in the plane:
