Sade Ndya Is Grateful For Her Community
Moving with intention will get you far and Sade Ndya - a young, deservingly successful cinematographer recently signed to The Gersh Agency - is a prime example. It's less about becoming represented by an agency, though, and more about fostering meaningful relationships and saying yes to the projects that genuinely, creatively excite you.
Sade never waited for opportunity to come to her. She began creating films as a student and at just 19-years-old, created her own freelance production company called The Red Futon. To no surprise, experiencing a growth spurt of success just a couple of years later not only catapulted her career but, also, her confidence in what she brings to the table.
Being young, black, and a woman on set with a big role is an adjustment for many in the film industry, especially those who've been around for a while. Sade knows this and she shares with us how she's learned to set aside her ego and why it's important to cultivate community.
This is an inspiring conversation with a motivated, up-and-coming cinematographer who's changing the industry and impacting many - one set at a time. If you're interested in film, aspire to break into a creative field, feel like you're against the norm, are calling in success, and/or are simply seeking to be motivated - this episode is for you.
