Up Close And Personal with @MICHOLEKEMP
Michole is a 17 year old music video director making strides in this industry. I had a chance to interview the next big thing, http://www.majormovieproductions.com/
1.What made you start directing videos?
I started remaking Nicki Minaj music videos as a hobby. Then I continued my hobby and started shooting videos in class and making music videos of artists at my school. Then at the age of 16 I turned my hobby into my career.
2. Do people sometime underestimate you when they first see you or hear about you?
Yes, always, being that I'm young a lot of people underestimate my work level or they assume they can play tricks with me. However, I'm very mature for my age and handle my business very well.
3. What was the very first video you directed?
My first official music video was for Jabias Da Kidd entitled "Fly like an astronaut"
4. Who are some of the people that you worked with?
Some artists I've worked with are Miss Mulatto, Jose Guapo, G-Fresh,Issa, Shawty Boy, Lady Rich Kids, Yungsta Da wiz, Lil niqo, and so many more.
5. Is being a female director hard?
Not only am I young but I'm also a female. Being a female director is VERY challenging. Directing is a male dominant industry therefore I must work extra hard to get to the top and remain on top.
6. Who is one of your favorite music video directors?
I can not choose just one favorite director there are so many great directors. I do have two WELL KNOWN directors who are my mentors though, Mr. Boomtown & Yolande Geralds.
7. Would you move into directing movies in the future?
I'm not sure yet. I would like to direct movies if I get the chance but as of now I want to better my knowledge and skills at shooting music videos and commercials.
8. What was the hardest video you worked on?
Uhm... I can't really say. There's always a challenge I face with every music video I shoot. So I'm not really sure.
9. Do you have a motto that you live by?
"If you don't believe in yourself, no one will" I'm not sure if I created this quote myself or heard it from someone else but this is a quote I repeat in my head all the time.
10. What motivates you?
I most definetly motivate myself, along with my mom, Melanie, my god dad, Shayne, and all of my supporters
11. Who are you?
I am a 17 year old female born and raised in Atlanta GA. Who took her well loved hobby and turned it to a career. And won't stop striving to reach the top. I am Michole Kemp.
12. When everything is said and done what do you want god to say to you? Four simple words from god would be great.... I BELIEVE IN YOU.
