About this listen

 Monique Yvonne Jones (@moniqueyvonne) joins CREATOR: The Podcast to discuss her groundbreaking approach to filmmaking. In this episode, Monique shares her journey as a one-person film production powerhouse, including how she handles everything from cinematography to acting completely solo. Host Ross discovers how Monique's self-portrait photography skills evolved into filmmaking, from making one-minute short films to working with brands like Apple and premiering at a film festival. "I think it's important to show people... that you're capable of doing it. Even if it's not the most professional way, you're still showing that you can get it done". Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker looking for inspiration or simply fascinated by innovative creators who break traditional production rules, this conversation delivers valuable perspective on turning creative limitations into artistic strengths.
