Brittany Joyner is a creator in Los Angeles who occassionally dabbles in legitimate work - but only if the catering is grade A. Her career has spanned decades and her resume proves that if you really believe in something, you should probably just buy it. Juggling improv, theatre, music, voiceover, film and TV has been a cakewalk for her, mostly because she doesn't know how to juggle.  That's clown shit and they won't admit her.

A young man, ambitious yet fearful, begins the journey to his life's treasure - his purpose. Realising his fear stands in the way, he dedicates himself to relinquishing it, pouring over books & spending days/months/years in a state of self reflection & examination.  His efforts pay off.  Clouded by fear & doubt no more, this young man sees clearly and walks through life unbounded and with immense purpose.  He pours himself into his craft, committing massive time and energy, molding himself into a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, another hurdle.  Despite now possessing the skill to attain his treasure, opportunity seems to elude him.  At first, frustration.  "Why? Have I not done all I needed to?"  It turns out he hadn't.  The young man was forgetting one key tenet of life:  "the greatest opportunities are found by those who relentlessly pursue them".

​

And so he evolved once more.  Instead of waiting for opportunity to arrive at his doorstep, he went to it.  Idler no more, the young man is renewed, seeing silver linings in every cloud & finding diamonds in every patch of dirt.  He's a hustler now.  Confident in both his abilities and his approach, and graciously humbled by the everlasting journey of life.

Over the course of her Hollywood career, she has worked on countless tv shows and movies and played everything from southern belles to soap stars.  She soon discovered she had a knack for voice over work and accents.  Voicing multiple characters in 1968 Blackflower Drive has been a delight, especially the challenge of two of her characters being in one scene together.
