We're thrilled to announce that the ground-breaking film producer, curator, writer and former Director of Edinburgh International Film Festival Lynda Myles is to receive the BAFTA Scotland Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film at a special event this August. Myles made history in 1973 as the first woman ever to be appointed as a film festival director anywhere in the world. She went on to receive a BAFTA as a producer of The Commitments in 1992, and mentored a new generation of filmmakers as Head of Fiction at The National Film & Television School from 2004 to 2016. 📸 EIFF / Pako Mera

Producer & Creative Strategist // Spearheaded $575K+ Projects with Globally Distributed, Award-Winning Media Content
This past weekend, Michael and I premiered our 9th film and I performed live for the first time in five years. It required: 1 - Hiring a babysitter for more hours than we could comfortably afford. 2 - Pumping after the kids went to bed and brainstorming ways to get my child to drink milk not directly from me. 3 - Commuting between rehearsals, screenings, performances, and home to nurse, hand off the kids, and spend quality time with them. 4 - Handling a sick child who couldn’t attend school and soothing a baby awake for two hours at night due to my accidental throat-clearing. On Sunday, we did not rest. It’s not an option with two small kids. The weekend was hectic but rewarding, and I am grateful for the experience, but Monday brought some much-needed relief. I don't share this to gain sympathy or compete in the exhaustion Olympics– "Oh yeah, you only got 4 hours of sleep? Well, I only got -0.37!" And yes, having children and pursuing my career are my choices. But when I hear stereotypes like "Millennials are lazy and just don’t want to work," I question what the standard definition of "work" really is. Is it measured by a LinkedIn profile, frequent title changes, or hours logged in an office? Or by the income and possessions, it allows one to accumulate? If that's the case, then maybe I am lazy. Maybe I don’t want to “work”. Why would I? Curious: How do you define or redefine work 👇🏽?
Ask how I bootstrapped $575K in pre-sales and investments as a Filmmaker and Content Marketer
