Women of Inspiration™ Podcast EP15 – Elizabeth-Blake Thomas | Universal Womens Network™ | @Elizabeth_B_T

I recently had the honour of interviewing Elizabeth Blake-Thomas from her home on the water in Los Angelos, California. Elizabeth shares her inspirational journey of overcoming adversity, homeschooling her daughter, at peace living in her tranquil harbour home and carving her path as a film director directing movies with meaning. The timing of our interview only weeks after the WHO (World Health Organization) on March 11, 2020, declared COVID a Global Pandemic.

Director ELIZABETH BLAKE-THOMAS is a British award-winning filmmaker and philanthropist based in Los Angeles, having recently completed her 8th feature film.  Her latest feature Evie Rose, starring Oscar-nominated actress Terry Moore, follows the heartwarming story of an unusual friendship during the final day of a 100-year-old woman’s life. Elizabeth is the founder and resident director of entertainment company Mother & Daughter Entertainment, whose motto is “Making Content That Matters”, putting the focus on each project starting a conversation amongst viewers.

An Official Ambassador of Awareness Ties for Human Trafficking, Elizabeth hopes to raise more awareness of the horrific nature of human trafficking and help put a stop to it. Her award-winning short film UNSEEN, which addresses the role technology plays in the facilitation of child trafficking, was awarded “Best Short Film” by Film Threat’s Award This! and is currently available on all platforms. Being a female director, Elizabeth strives to make projects with at least a 50/50 female cast and crew.  A regular on panels at Sundance, Cannes and Toronto International Film Festival, Elizabeth mentors wherever possible, ensuring she sends the elevator back down to all other female directors and filmmakers. mega888
