We were lucky to catch up with Brittany Hall recently and have shared our conversation below.

Brittany , appreciate you joining us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

Taking a risk? What does taking a risk mean to me?
It All Started in 2024 when I was admitted to Full Sail University for Film in Media Productions,

I am from Seaford Delaware, born and raised. I am used to the cold breeze when I step long along the lineless roads and thick sand running along my feet. Let’s just say that film School was a huge decision for me.

Along this journey, I had to leave friends that I’ve had for years. I even had to leave my theater crew, which was so devastating for me. Most importantly my family, my nephew, everything was just too soon.

“Are you sure this is the right decision?” “Will me, moving away cause conflict within my relationships?” “Is this a selfish decision to make?” All of those things swarmed around my head at those times in my life, and I had to think very deeply about what was next to come for me. These are the nights I prayed for an answer; I knew he would have the ultimate decision.

I spent long summers searching and listening to the voice of God’s ultimate Calling. It took time to understand what I had to do next, but soon eventually the voice led me to Full Sail University with a theater background but determined to shape my skill of direction into a new platform. The first few weeks in Florida were devastating for me. I felt lost and apart from my pack, those who supported me, and those who loved me dearly. I felt so alone. There were those moments, but God’s voice was always near. As a reminder of why I had to be set apart.

As time passed, I started noticing myself making friends. People all over the world that you wouldn’t even think of meeting or running into in your daily life. I have met forever companions and team members. Time could only tell.

Then so soon, in March, 2024

Unexpectedly, my class selected me to be the school’s director for a television series, “The Russel Gemstone.” Which was an experience that has changed my perspective in the greatest means.

During the ride at Full Sail, I Wrote, Directed, and Produced “It Was Worth The Weight,” a once theater play, into now a short film, a Bio-picture of my Father, who is a 5-time world natural champion in Powerlifting, powered by God. The more time passed by, the more I understood why I had to take the risk and why I had to be set apart from everyone. God had a plan for me, that only required me and no one else. This entire time, he has stretched me out of my comfort zones and having me realize what his calling for me truly is.

Risk is what allows you to prosper, and who would’ve known that the title of my Film would be the words that I say to young women, Young black women, and people all over the world, and people with a heart full of dreams?

Every step you take is worth every minute, it is indeed worth the wait, and everything will start to align just the way you envisioned it. You just have to trust in the plan. If I didn’t take a Risk coming to Full Sail University to obtain my master’s I wouldn’t see a different perception of the world or understand the roots of my purpose. In other words, God has shown me what I’ve prayed for. Even miles, and miles away, my friends and family have supported and loved me through every step I’ve taken.

Risk is something that we often fear because of the unknown. However, once you trust yourself, you will begin to open doors, even windows, and sometimes they open for you, as it is destined. These are simple reminders are placed there by God to inform you that taking risks is what allows you to reach your highest potential. That is what is required in the paradise of greatness.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I started directing, producing, and writing in the year of 2021, at the University Of Maryland Eastern Shore. This is where I started to direct plays and was able to successfully perform one in 2022, with over 60 students involved, as this was a student-ran production. My fire started there and since then it hasn’t burnt out.

It took me to truly believe in my soul, not my heart, but my soul. I had to believe where it would take me and who I could be. Creating and building a theatre production allowed me to be humble, personal, communicative, and truly collaborative- understanding others in a deeper way and even yourself, for none of us are perfect.

One of the things I am most proud of would be that production; it was my very first but yet closest to my heart. That is when I realized why I was born into this world and allowed those across the East Coast to know about the great things my father did as a 5 time World Champion Powerlifter. This was the start of the foundation of “It Was Worth The Weight” which is now a short film, another project extremely close to me.

Through my work, I want people to understand the power that lies within them through my theatre productions and even film.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is having to share my heart and soul’s perspective of the way that I am able to see the world, putting my world into their hands and allowing to Share that through a stage or even a camera lens, and to be able to inspire.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

The goal driving my creative journey is to reach amongst people around the world about the goodness of God and the greatness within ourselves. To spread positivity about the mind. I want people to see the power that they uphold.
