Season 1 Episode 7: My Jagged Mind
In the latest episode of Persistence of Vision, I sit down with Allyson Morgan, a multifaceted creative professional with a strong background in theater. Allyson and I first met at the Magnolia Film Festival, where we bonded over our shared experiences in the film industry. During our conversation, Allyson shared her journey from acting to writing and filmmaking, emphasizing the importance of networking and making genuine connections at film festivals and industry events.
Allyson's career began with community theater in Columbus, Ohio, and eventually led her to New York City, where she started a theater company and worked in TV casting. She discussed the challenges she faced, including auditions, rejections, and the difficulties of working in a competitive industry. Despite these challenges, Allyson's resilience and tenacity have been key to her success.
