“Try not to allow someone’s negative thoughts or comments keep you from moving forward creatively. You can be nervous, but don’t be afraid to risk taking the first steps even if you can’t completely see the staircase!” says Jamison-Tanchuck.
Jamison-Tanchuck’s credits include Regina King’s triple-Oscar nominated One Night in Miami as well as Michael B. Jordan’s Just Mercy, Emancipation, Detroit, Birth of a Nation, White Men Can’t Jump, Big Momma’s House and Courage Under Fire. She also served as the costume supervisor on the original 1985 The Color Purple film. Overall, her career spans over 50 years and encompasses over 60 films.
Last week, the guild announced nominees in the nine categories for the 26th CDGA. The winners will be announced live at the ceremony on Feb. 21 at NeueHouse in Hollywood, California.
