Naomi's first film didn't give her the validation and acceptance that she sought. Naomi felt crushed. So for her second film, she set out to be accepted by the "System" and chose to play by their rules. Naomi encountered very powerful 'gatekeepers' that feel they define the success and happiness of film makers, such as herself. Once she realized that she had been empowered all along, she took a refreshingly different approach. Naomi recentered with her own value system and courageously decided to distribute her film herself. She rented an RV and embarked on her "Joyful Vampire Tour of America", which provides screenings, Q&A with the film makers and ends with a fun ball. Naomi looks forward to connect with her end consumers and independent cinema owners. She shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom: - your acceptance, validation and happiness is measured by your values, not those of others - do not chase external recognitions that are, in reality, meaningless - get centered with your values, what is truly important to you and go after it - sometimes you just need to challenge the norm - learn by doing - listen to your gut Naomi McDougall Jones is an award-winning actress, writer, producer, and women in film activist.
