In this inspiring episode, Eunice Smith-Shelley — filmmaker, strategist, and industry disruptor — shares how she’s redefining storytelling from concept to production. With over 30 years in corporate leadership and creative entrepreneurship, Eunice blends business strategy with cinematic vision to empower underrepresented voices in film.
As the founder of Word Smith Studios, she’s built a creative hub for emerging filmmakers to learn, produce, and lead. She also created the groundbreaking Flip the Script Film Fellowship, which has trained and launched hundreds of Black filmmakers into the industry.
Host Floyd Marshall Jr. explores Eunice’s path from engineering process design to storytelling mastery — and how she’s proving that the next generation of filmmakers doesn’t have to wait for permission to create.
