This week's feature is with Los Angeles-based writer, director, and filmmaker Tamika Miller. Since graduating college, she has never had a "9-5," and has freelanced successfully for her entire career. In our conversation, Tamika and I discuss her artistic influences, her unexpected path in film, working in a predominantly white, male field, and her most recent award-winning short film entitled /SMOKD/.

Vanity Gee

Vanity is many things, but mostly a bundle of thoughts, feelings and matching facial expressions. She is a multi-instrumentalist, adult beverage connoisseur, writer, and bibliophile. Vanity is an arts administrator, advocate for young people, music educator, and production manager, but most importantly, is a loving friend, daughter, sister, and wife. She studied music, economics, and education, and has a few degrees to match. Vanity is an alumna of the Harvard of the Midwest, the Home of the Badgers, and that very old and very erudite university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Though the library is pretty much the only place Vanity truly feels at home, her roots go back to Southern Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri. She is currently searching for the best fish and shrimp plate New York has to offer.
