So what does "entertainment powerhouse" mean? It means I'm a creative professional (actress, singer, writer, model, blogger, podcast host/producer and beauty ambassador for a company called "How to Be a Redhead") a licensed attorney of over 18 years specializing in entertainment transactional law and a former executive of a small indie film production company who has a couple films you can watch on Pluto and Tubi.
I'm a first generation college & law school graduate, a first generation lawyer and a first generation business owner along with a native of NC who's a natural redhead. Let's just say I don't suffer fools, take no BS and will tell you right to your face if you're out of line or being a hypocrite. I'm not starstruck, won't be performing sexual favors, have serious integrity and that's why I really think I'd do better with my own entertainment empire telling my stories and giving people who haven't been given a shot the opportunity to tell their stories without losing their dignity or playing ball with ego queens. I got into law to help people and will keep helping people navigate the crazy law stuff but don't want to own a law firm or deal with the typical lawyer set. You're not MY "better" and I'm not your "better."
As long as you respect and understand that, we'll get along great. Be sure to check out my profile and website. I'm always looking for potential collaborators and where two people may benefit from a mutual connection.

Let's make a movie. I have the writing cred. Novels, short stories, and a script. Have been reading them LIVE from Times Square and Washington Square Park.

Monica Trombley That’s a powerful mindset especially building something on your own terms while holding onto integrity.
I think creating space for people to tell their stories without compromising themselves is something the industry needs more of.
I’m a director-writer, and I’m also focused on telling grounded, character-driven stories while navigating the industry in a way that feels true to me.
Would be great to connect and see where creative alignment exists.
Welcome to Stage32!
Welcome! Monica Trombley
