The "Industry": Breaking in and Staying in!
In 2017, after writing, directing and producing a dramatic short film and a comedy web series, Shanice Williams escaped the law (firm) and took a leap into the world of freelance film/tv crew. She’s worked as an Office PA, an Accounting Assistant and an Art Department Coordinator before landing incredible gigs as Producer’s Assistant for “Bullet Train” (Sony) and Assistant to Michael Uppendahl, Producing Director for “Candy,” (Hulu). Having been born in Queens and raised between Queens and Dallas, TX (with stops in Austin and Atlanta), Shanice is a cultural shapeshifter and that superpower has poured into her scripts, earning her placements in writing competitions and as an inaugural fellow in Circle of Confusion’s Writers Discovery Program. Lately, Shanice has been honing her skills in writers rooms and shadowing directors whenever possible, including her current gig as Script Coordinator for Season 2 of “A Man on the Inside” (Netflix). She's currently in pre-production on her next short film.
