But I feel like it’s the same way in life. Whether it’s a dream we’re chasing, or a goal we’ve set, we all have marks that we want to hit. Those marks guide us to where we need to be.

This week on Hitting Your Mark, I’m sitting down with Little, an actress who decided it was time to stop waiting and create her first short film.
After winning a scriptwriting competition, Little received a grant that gave her the opportunity to bring her vision to life — and in this conversation, we break down exactly how she did it. We walk through 3 simple steps to creating a short film, why actors can’t afford to only be actors anymore, and what really happens when you step into filmmaking for yourself.
We also talk honestly about the other side of the process. Filmmaking is beautiful — but it’s also challenging. From creative pressure to problem-solving on the fly, Little shares what she’s learning along the way and how the filmmakers who inspire her helped shape her debut short film, Maleeka, set to premiere in Fall 2026.
If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting for permission, or wondering how to take that first step — this episode is for you.
This one is for the dreamers.
