It’s a fortunate time in life when you begin to see the significance of a moment before it passes. That is what happened for me within weeks of beginning to film “Winning Time”. I knew that this would be a project so special and unique that it would have a lasting impact on both my personal and professional life.
There isn’t enough space to properly articulate the camaraderie and support from my colleagues, the crew and the cast that made this show great.
Kate Biscoe (@k8biscoe) put together a team that was no egos & all talent. She held space for us to create, to succeed & fail, to grow without judgment, to stretch our wings and bring our best. Grateful doesn’t begin to describe how I feel to have been included in this group.
Corinne Foster (@mrsmakeupfx) was the friend and colleague I didn’t know I needed. Daily, I was inspired watching the graceful dance she performed orchestrating and running this show. It was a job that was often overlooked and unthanked, but her coordinating of the massive number of MUA’s that we had working each day was imperative to the success and the overall look of the show. On top of those talents, she’s an incredible artist! With each nuanced application and make up she did, I learned new ways to analyze and use colors. The numerous conversations we had scrutinizing and attempting to perfect each make up application is one of the greatest reasons I grew so much as an artist. Ultimately, even though she impacted my professional life, it’s her friendship that I value most after our time in the trenches.
Our entire makeup team supported each other in ways I’ve never seen in this industry, but I hope becomes the standard. Because of the immense number of MUA’s that were brought together on this show, I think we can all say we left “Winning Time” as better artists and hopefully made some wonderful memories and new friends along the way.
