I feel lucky to be here.
I must tell you that I am not an academic person
I hardly have a university diploma
But I found myself in a very lucky place.
I am the full presentation manager for your private editor.
“Show Manager” is a modern industry for women’s speech, hence the jacket.
Even when I tell you this, I have a strange feeling
Because it is not long, 4 years from now
I completely feel that I am helpless and incompetent,
Especially since I did not have a choice.
Have you ever felt tingling from the inside?
That you are more than that
That there is something beyond your estimated life
Invites you,
But you did not feel you had the right to claim it?
If so,
do not worry.
I would like to talk to you
About the choice that you have to grow out of your comfort zone.
I have spent most of my life as an adult, feeling that I have no choice.
I lived in a state of constant rejection.
I am an actress.
I spent my career in the rooms in desperate attempts to impress someone
That I was the perfect version of that character,
To be rejected.
I am sure that you all think acting is a great profession.
The irony is that more creative species
Works for a small percentage of time
In case it worked at all.
So I’m fed up.
I mean, look, if I were trying to sell you this jacket and you’re refusing,
I can blame the jacket.
But when the product is you,
Sleeping at night becomes harder and harder.
Despite my passion for acting,
I was very hard of feeling that I had no opinion on my future career.
So I did something I felt was a bit illegal.
Started writing, not well.
You feel, do not know,
I felt that writing was destined for someone smarter than me,
Or more distinct than me.
But I have these ideas, and one specifically
Small piece.
I had this idea for dramatic / comedy medical events
It takes place in a children’s hospital.
I know, it’s funny.
(Laughter)
But instead of giving her time beyond childhood,
I handed it over to one of the most experienced in the industry
This guy is intelligent, and has a wonderful autobiography
I really trust him.
He is also a good father.
For those of you who know my father, Ivan Retman,
You know that he is considered one of the grandfathers of comedy.
He is an inventor (ghost hunters).
Yeah.
He is also here today.
Happy birthday, my father.
(acclaim)
(clap)
I deeply apologize for the story I was about to tell you.
(Laughter)
As you can see, if you knew my father, it is far from being rude.
Yes.
I will never forget his face.
Looked directly into my eyes, said:
“Katherine, a medical drama? That was called to Aaron Sorkin.”
These words echoed like a link in my mind for weeks:
“It was called to Aaron, it was called to Aaron, it was called to Aaron.”
Every time I went to clean my teeth: “That was called to Aaron Sorkin.”
(Laughter)
I try to stop my car in parallel: “It was called Aaron Sorkin.”
(Laughter)
Everything must be left to Aaron Sorkin,
Who was of course responsible for writing News ROME, West Wing,
He won an Oscar for social networks.
smart man.
But yes, that frustrated me.
The idea was once again launched into the wilderness
I was ashamed to just leave my comfort zone.
Now, if this moment is something you can tie yourself to,
Where you suppress your magic and underestimate yourself,
I have great news for you.
This is a required moment to be able to define your choice.
I keep talking about the choice
Because I find it very important to have one,
I find that gives strength.
But before we take that step, let’s for a second,
Study what would happen if I said no “to choose”
Because we do it all the time, do not we?
You do not have to say “Yes.”
You can ignore your internal voice
Listening to that critical voice that always speaks, right?
“You’re not smart enough, you’re not special enough.”
Do you remember that teacher who did not believe in you enough?
Your former lover who thought you were a tacky person?
It was not always wrong.
And what if it fails? How will you feel?
Would it be different?
About your current state of creative negativity?
For me the two cases were equal.
The idea of writing a script and not accomplishing something – failure –
And not writing
Because I was afraid of failure too
It was almost equal to writing and failure.
If it fails, can you skip it?
I think you can.
Talk to someone on his deathbed.
In 2011, Bruny Ware published a book about her time as a care nurse.
She documented the five things that people regret on her deathbed.
The first reason for remorse for people who are about to die:
“I wish I had the courage to live a more honest life with myself
I did not worry much about the expectations of others. “
Well, we can break it up in many ways,
But for me it benefited
It was our duty to hear our inner voice
For the purpose of being our true selves.
So let’s take a step to the edge for a second:
Let us keep in mind our inconvenience.
Now look, my idea for Aaron Sorkin, Dad,
You were not there yet.
But Aaron Sorkin is no longer Aaron Sorkin
By allowing anyone who preceded him to do something to stop his development.
Oh really?
Without a doubt, the male was white,
That gave him a bigger chance, you bet.
That is not my own opinion: that is a statistical fact.
As a gallery manager, I often find myself in these conversations,
I’m talking about how the main roles in the entertainment industry
Do not go for women.
So I often hire women
Even if their CV does not yet support them.
But, Aaron Sorkin is not the problem.
He is simply the position holder.
He is currently in office,
Which means you can be a competitor.
And yes – your way to the field should be challenging.
To do so, you must enter the field.
Here the choice plays a key role.
My way as a competition started
After my first child, Jackson.
I went back to work very early.
I say that because I have postpartum depression.
A few years ago,
No one talked about postpartum depression,
Because many people tied it up with wound traces.
Well, I did not,
But I had a hormonal imbalance.
I felt that I was suffering from an identity crisis.
I did not feel normal when I was with my son.
I did not feel normal when I was at work.
Which made my first job –
An independent film in Philadelphia –
Difficult.
As you can see, it also happened on my first Mother’s Day.
I was away from my child at the age of 6 weeks,
Surrounded by male comedians, and they began to make it difficult for me, okay?
They tease me,
Saying that they would send my son a birthday card on my behalf.
Would it be more intimate if it were “from the nanny” position?
Was my caller …
(Boot)
(Upset)
Was my son calling Nanny “Mama” yet?
You can guess, I cried.
I collapsed at that moment.
I still remember the faces, you know?
It was very embarrassing, painful, and quiet,
But there was something really funny about the subject,
But I did not know what was at that moment.
I went back to my room at the hotel and called my husband-
Who was also my partner in production,
smart man –
“You have to write that,” Lee said.
We watch TV all the time. When was the last time you saw such a story?
You can not be the only one going through this experience. “
These are, right?
the choice.
This time, I said, “Yes.”
She wrote, lost control.
It was strange and not perfect.
And those who know my teachers, working mothers
You know it’s the final episode of the experimental ring,
Followed by my personality embodied at that moment
In a weeping battle with a grizzly bear weighing 900 pounds.
Le Cat Now you have the idea to say “yes” to your choice,
I have two things for you.
First: It’s a lot of work. I do not want to belittle it.
You’ll have to work.
Second: This work must be for you specifically.
You should be unique to you only
So you can not mix it with someone else.
Working mothers is that to me.
I felt confident as I wrote who would become working mothers
Because I knew how difficult it was, how shameful it was.
But I also know how luxurious it is.
I had to leave my child, who became my children now, and do something for me only.
If you consider that you say “yes” to your choice,
I do not want to frustrate you, but others will.
You will not be the only one who takes a hit at it.
When I first sold my books, it was a US channel.
Because my resume was empty, they appointed another show manager.
That man, by the way is still my friend,
A comic man actually.
His first task was to ensure that my teachers, working mothers,
It touched the lives of as many people as possible.
In which world is crying or bear affects the lives of people?
Was my program targeting mothers living in the mountains?
Here again, check.
I could hold on to my opinion and be tough,
Or trust in his experience.
I went to the captain of the channel
Without a bear sight
And some other scenes that were not really funny.
The serial channel refused.
It turns out that they have another series about working mothers under development,
Very specific, very good,
It is produced by Louis CK,
Ironically, the incumbent or Aaron Sorkin of the actual type.
The lesson was difficult but important.
as you see,
If you were brave enough to say “yes” to your choice,
You must also be brave enough to stick to your vision
Because it will be tested.
The talker came back to me the script,
After more than a refusal,
It happened that the scenario passed on the tastes and risk maker’s office,
Sally Cutton of the BBC.
She gave the green light to the series.
I remember sitting with her for the first time
Because they specifically suspended how the serial
He touched her life.
So being specific is really something that touches people’s lives.
You may see this now and you are not ready yet
To say “yes” to choose.
That is an important part of the trip.
Only you know when it is time to enter the field.
I just finished approving the second season of the series.
(Boot)
I am about to start proceedings with a new offer
It is far from my comfortable area.
I dare say that it is far from Aaron Sorkin too?
(Laughter)
He is, without a doubt, a genius and does his job well.
You guys, no matter how gifted you are
It is a gift
I’m here not only to encourage you but to ask you to take it into consideration.
Why do not you be my dearest?
From field intervention.
Thank.
(clap)
