Give us your job description in 25 words or less. Manage and/or produce all content and films on the ChristianCinema.com website

Describe a typical workday. It all revolves around email, Facebook, and the Internet for me.

On a typical day, I'm talking with publicists, filmmakers, film distributors, and marketing/advertising managers about getting information about their projects on our site. That means setting up interviews, arranging to attend a screening, getting behind the scenes photographs and other materials that can turn into articles for the website and posts for the blog.

ChristianCinema.com has been described as "The voice of independent Christian film," so I'm also searching Facebook and the internet to find people who are making films that we can introduce to our audience. I dig until I find the producer or director and reach out to them, asking if we can publicize their film for them, and if it's in DVD format, to sell it on our site.

I also surf the Internet for news about films and filmmakers that I think will be of interest to our audience. What films are coming out that they should know about? Is there a filmmaker looking for extras in a specific area? What Hollywood films are ones they would want to know about?

I write articles that are informational (Cutback is in post-production and will be holding screenings in August), articles that discuss the intersection of faith and film (why is there so much violence and language in The Book of Eli?), and articles about events to attend (screenings, the Gideon Film Festival, etc.).

Since our company is owned by film producers, I'm writing copy for a lot of the marketing materials and news posts that are going onto the website and Facebook page for the film Like Dandelion Dust. I wrote the synopsis, the production notes, and helped develop the logline for the film – a huge challenge to fit the essence of a film into 10-15 words!

Once a week I write the editorial column for our e-newsletter and pull the content together for it. Again – hard to boil a thought down to its essence in 4 – 5 paragraphs – it's always a challenge!

What led you to realize that you wanted to do this type of work? I've always written in the jobs I've had since college. I worked for an airline and wrote technical manuals and training materials. I worked for two non-profits and wrote personal newsletters as well as newsletters and fundraising materials for the non-profits. I never even dreamed of being involved in film.

I had been a friend with one of the producers I work for, and after we did a project together for someone else, he approached me about working for him. He recognized some abilities I have that he felt would be an asset to his company and asked me to come on board and help grow the business. It was a God thing.

Did you have any heroes or mentors in your industry that you admired? Reviewers: Phil Boatwright, Christa Banister, Greg Wright. Filmmakers: Jefferson Moore, Bobby & Kevin Downes, Dave & Rich Christiano, Tracy Trost, Ralph Winter

What type of education or training was required to land your job? The school of common sense! Really, a lot of what I do is relational. I ask people to trust me with their stories and to let me tell others about them. I do it from a place of friendship and relationship, and want to honor them by letting others know about their work and passion.

Formally, it's critical to have good writing skills and an ear for the rhythm of words and their multiple meanings. So for that, you better be a great English student.

What do you love most about your job? The people I meet who are making films and working in other creative endeavors who are believers. I love that I get to find out all about them and tell their stories to others. My life is made richer because of the people I'm meeting along the way. I'm always energized and excited about my own creative work after talking with filmmakers and other artists. They challenge me to be a better version of myself.

What one part of your job do you wish you could hire someone else to do? Product management. It's the least interactive part of my job, and can be a little tedious.

What advice would you give to teenagers wanting to get into your field of work? Write all that you can. Write stories, write articles, interview people (by the way – you should listen a LOT more than you talk! If you're listening to a recording of an interview & you keep hearing your voice time and time again – you're talking too much!), learn all you can about the art and craft that you'll be reporting on. In my case, part of my job requires me going to see lots of movies. You better make sure it's something you enjoy doing.

How does your job allow you to use your God-given gifts? I'm at a point in my faith walk where I realize I don't have anything but what came from God. If I have any ability to write, any ability to relate to and love others, any opportunity to (sometimes) do exciting things like interview "stars," it's all due to Him. I would really be nothing without Him, so whether it's writing, critiquing a film, interviewing someone – it's all because of Him.

Do you have any hobbies or off-hours pursuits that teenagers would find of interest? Hmm…not sure. I tend to think that my life outside of my work is a lot less interesting. I do write songs. I've written one that we sing pretty often at our church and I'm going to copyright one of these days. I also co-write with our worship leader and a couple of other people at church – LOVE that!
