Monetizing Your Creativity - Pursuing A Career In Film, Television, Writing, Theatre, Music & Design With Your Talents

Attitude? Bury it! "Prudence" is a virtue defined as consisting of: "Being wise in practical affairs; the act of knowing how to avoid embarrassment or distress." True to her name, Prudence Olenik is one of the more grounded mentors on the set. She describes to you her path from performer to makeup practitioner to professor of application and attitude. In this Edmonton interview, Prudence discusses the need for a makeup artist to be part researcher, chemist, health and safety officer, painter, sculptor, and teacher. What do you need to learn? That learning is a lifelong activity. You'll quickly discover that Prudy's approach is: "You do what needs to be done for yourself in the industry and for those in the industry who provide you with work opportunities." If you only take away one concept from this first of several conversations with Prudence, let it be: "No heels on set!" Prudence is referring to shoes. Fred and Marv are referring to people. Bury the attitude! And get on with the job. Subscribe t
