Still under construction, but we have a little something special for you fam.

What does it really take to go from an idea…to a nationally released film?

Journey to RYSE returns, and for this session, we’re sitting down with Tamika Miller—an award-winning film and television director whose latest project, UNDERCARD, is making serious waves.

Starring Wanda Sykes in her first dramatic role, UNDERCARD premiered to critical acclaim—taking home the Audience Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival and Best Independent Film at the St. Louis International Film Festival—before its nationwide release.

And that’s just the beginning.

Tamika’s directing credits span both film and major network television, including Quantum Leap (NBC), The Equalizer (CBS), and Station 19 (ABC/Shondaland).

In this intimate outdoor session, she’ll tap into:

Her journey from production assistant to director

Real lessons from navigating the industry

Gems for emerging filmmakers

Plus a live Q&A session (come ready 👀)
