Today we’d like to introduce you to VR Productions.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hi I’m Veronica, I’m originally from Flint, Michigan and later in life joined the United States Army and ended up leaving that career after time served to pursue acting and directing. I’m now lucky enough to be a part of the upcoming short film girl crush!
Hi I’m Ramona, I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon as a very shy kid. I was going into my first year of high school when I decided to push myself by auditioning for a school play, and I quickly fell in love! After that, I graduated High School early and moved to Los Angeles this past fall and am lucky enough to be making my first movie this spring!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Making movies outside of school when you’re lucky enough to also be a full-time student is incredibly challenging. We are also both complete new-comers to filmmaking as a whole so there have been some very hard nights. But, at the end of the day, we are so lucky to look back and see how far we’ve come. Putting all that hard work in and seeing something real come out of it is everything an artist could ask for and more.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about VR Productions?
