We were lucky to catch up with Jimmy Fontaine recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jimmy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
I Knew I Wanted To Entertain As Young As 4 Years Old. I Remember A Story Told To Me About Me Trying To Climb In The TV Because I Wanted To “Live There”. I Always Was The Jokester In School And Was Even Nominated Class Clown. My Heart Always Direct Me Somehow To Entertainment.
Jimmy, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I Got In The Industry Via Film School. Outside Of Myself Acting And Doing Stand Up My 9-5, Per Say, Is In Production. I Work Behind The Scenes Currently On TV Shows And Featured Films. My Disciple To Stay The Course I Credit To My Military Background, Having Served 8 Years In The U.S. Army.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My One And Only Goal That’s Driving Me Is Family! I Know I Sound Like Dom Torretto (Vin Diesel’s Character From Fast And The Furious) Lol, But That’s My Driving Force. Seeing Where We’ve Come From And Potentially Can Go If I Keep Pushing Is All The Drive I Need. I Want To Be The Person To Put My Family In A Better Situation Than What We Grew Up!
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I’m Still Kind Of Building My Presence On Social Media Now So I May Not Have The Best Advice. What I’ve Learned Tho Is Be Active On Social Media, Even If You Have Nothing To Post Be Actively On Line. Share A Story, Post, Or Whatever And Interact With Your Audience. My Biggest Increase On Social Media Came From Person To Person Contact. Get Out And Network People!!
