01 / TREY FANJOY Director, Filmmaker & Screenwriter
ON HER START IN THE INDUSTRY “You’re not as fat as ON WHAT SHE you think you are! WOULD TELL HER Embrace your curves.” YOUNGER SELF “I’ve been a lover of both music and film my entire life. My two passions intersected when I discovered music videos. I began my career in film production out in LA. … But I actually consider myself a writer, first. I studied both journalism and theatre in college. With the help of my mentor, Jon Small of Picture Vision, I managed to transition into directing those concepts I was writing.”
ON HER UPCOMING PROJECT
“I’m set to direct a feature film, Something in the Water, this summer. I wrote the screenplay with close girlfrend Cindy McCreery. Ironically, it’s about female friendship and women supporting each other to overcome fears that keep us from living our best lives.”
“My husband (Eddie Perez of The Mavericks) and I have been extremely lucky when it comes to balancing our schedules. But honestly, we MAKE time… Our son, Jett, is now my biggest priority in life. I always want him to have at least one parent at all times.”
ON HER FRIEND / MUSE MIRANDA LAMBERT 32 | NASHVILLEEDIT.COM
ON BALANCING MARRIAGE AND BUSY SCHEDULES
“Miranda Lambert is about the closest thing that I have to a muse. [We] have this crazy, inextricably powerful connection. We’ve been through so much together over the last 15 years. I did her very first music video as an artist and her most recent, too. I’m really grateful for her support and belief in me. She’s going to be the Executive Music Producer on our film.”
