The Filmmaker

Karen Skloss
SUNSHINE Director/Producer
What keeps her motivated as an independent filmmaker:
I ask myself that question every day! But seriously, I just can’t imagine my life without working on films. It’s what I have to do.
Her three favorite films:
Annie (especially at age 6), A Well Spent Life (by Les Blank), The Lady Eve (Barbara Stanwyck is unforgettable)
Her advice for aspiring filmmakers:
Only do it if you have to, but if you have to, don’t let anything stop you. It’s almost always more difficult than you think it will be. Learn to shoot and edit if you want to direct or produce.
Her most inspirational food for making independent film:
If you are in Texas, breakfast tacos, most definitely.
