When Acting, Modeling, and Directing Collide: Finding Your True Creative Path
Kayla’s creative journey started at just nine years old with a Corn Pops commercial and evolved through acting, modeling, and directing. When her university eliminated its theater program, she refused to let the setback define her path. With no prior filmmaking experience and only an iPhone, she created a short film that won Best Film and Best Cinematography, making her the first woman at her school to receive these prestigious honors.
In this episode, Kayla opens up about navigating the challenges of independent filmmaking, the mental battles of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and the importance of building confidence as a creative. She also shares how she balances multiple artistic identities and why creating your own content is essential for success in today’s entertainment industry.
✨ If you’re passionate about acting, directing, storytelling, or creative entrepreneurship, this episode delivers inspiration, industry insights, and actionable motivation to keep your vision moving forward.
