Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Bacinski
Hi Brittany, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I never saw Hollywood for myself. Until one day out of nowhere I did. It came to me like a vision as I was meditating. I had just gotten a divorce and my entire future was uncertain. I didn’t know what was next. One minute, I was a married stay-at-home-mom who was side-hustling creative gigs and writing books during nap times, and the next, I had keys to a new home, in a new neighborhood beginning my new life. After my divorce, it was almost as if a giant boulder was removed from my vision field and out in the distance was a brand-new Hollywood dream. And that dream was to see my work on screens. And now here I am, getting the opportunity two years later to do just that.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has never been smooth from me. From a difficult and traumatic childhood, to a painful divorce, devastating loss, heartbreak and beyond. However, through it all, I find that the pain transmutes into purpose for me and fuels some of my best work.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I think I’m slowly becoming “that moody writer from the Midwest.” The subject matter of my art is often riddled with emotional depth and this sort of bold authenticity. I like to write about the rawness of life. I often say that my mailman inspires me more than Taylor Swift. There is just something very captivating about the real, humble, honest, human experience. I find my muses to be a lot of ordinary people, places and things. I see them in my mind with much more color I think, and that tends to show up in my work.
Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
I think luck is just an expression of radical faith in your deepest desires and beliefs. Have I been lucky, or have I just maintained a radical belief in myself and my dreams? I think it’s up for interpretation.
