What am I up to these days?I learned about a Now Page because of Derek Sivers. It lets you catch up on the bigger picture things of my life, but sometimes I also share the in-between on Instagram: @iammailyne

Updated: January 29, 2026

I realized when I was coming off of three weeks of vacation that I was burnt out. So this year has been gentler. I'm still working hard, but I'm tired and I have no idea how I managed to do everything I was doing before. In any case, here's what I'm up to.

  • Charlene, the short film, is now a proof of concept for a longer film. It's done being color graded and is being scored.

  • Beyond the Pause, a documentary and YouTube channel will have it's first interview go live this February.

  • I'm editing videos for the LA county about the fires that devastated LA in 2025.

  • I'm working on a grant to help fund the pre-production for my feature film, Those Days of Summer.
