What’s the end goal?

It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, but it’s important to stop ask: what’s the end goal? Knowing where you are trying to go is step one in getting there and so we’ve asked some folks we admire to tell us their end goal and where they want to be by the end of their careers.

Brielle Yuke Li | Film Producer/Filmmaker

As a film producer who has worked on short films, commercials, narrative features, and documentaries that have been selected by multiple international film festivals, including Oscar-qualifying ones, I aspire to become a filmmaker who both collaborates with top-tier directors and storytellers for high-budget studio films through which I can fully understand the ins-and-outs of filmmaking as an industry, and also joins forces with independent auteurs with whom I can push the edges of the technics and art of cinematic storytelling.

Kiki Melendez | Actress, Writer, Producer

I often wonder how I ended up in the entertainment business. I think that growing up as an only child and brought up by a single mother I naturally needed and craved attention, but as I started to get deep into the creation of content I realized it was not all about me, it was not about trying to get attention, I realized it was about making an impact, making a difference, uniting our races, creating a platform for other amazing talent that would otherwise not get a shot in Hollywood Hell, I realized that the passion and love I have for all people is what created Latin Hollywood Films Inc, in 1998 and Omni Cultural Tv Fest in 2019.

Emily Barth Isler | Author, writer, journalist

I think about this a lot, because I’m at the beginning of my career as an author, and still fairly close to the beginning as a journalist, so it’s understandable to wonder where it’s all “going” long-term. I like to think about goals and wishes for all the things I hope I will get to do (write more books! Publish a chapter book series! Write for TV!), but I also like to leave room for surprises. Both of my careers have aspects that were somewhat surprises: I knew I wanted to write for magazines, but I didn’t plan to become an eco-sustainability beauty writer! That just happened because it was something I was genuinely interested in, and the right opportunity came about at the right time for me to dig into it. Read more>>

Gail Albright | 3D Artist

My biggest goal as a professional artist is simply to have a body of work I am truly proud of. In the future, I want to be able to look back and know that I did my best, did some cool stuff, and most of all, had fun doing it. I hope that no matter what scale or esteem of project I work on, I am able to reflect fondly without regret. Besides that, I also plan to one day settle down and become a teacher. A couple of years ago I worked as a teachers assistant in my college’s summer program. I found a great amount of fulfillment working with the next generation – and discovered that teaching others is another passion of mine. Once I have gained lots of industry experience, I hope to return to a teaching role. Read more>>
