This episode is so incredibly inspiring! We chat with Eva Tavares all about her early creative life as a trained dancer and opera singer, her time on the stage as a musical theatre performer including the life changing role of Christine in the Broadway National Tour of Phantom Of The Opera, and her seamless transition from the stage into acting, directing and writing for film. We get deep into the importance of mentorship and the valuable lessons learned from patience in this industry. Eva also shares so many important takeaways from her experience as an indie filmmaker on beautiful  projects like her the short film that's opened many doors for her called  'A Little Vacation' and the challenges and triumphs of her high concept music videos she's directed.   Eva's passion for storytelling has carried her from singing on stage to directing for Hallmark with many lessons and major wins along the way. Multi-hyphenates!
