This blog is written by Palmer Enfield. Palmer is a producer-director and the founder of RedMaiden (www.redmaiden.tv), a branded content, boutique creative company. As a director, her forte is slice of life storytelling and visual imagery. Like RedMaiden, she is a warrior in her own right--a two time cancer survivor (Hodgkins Lymphoma & Breast Cancer) her strength has been forged in life or death battles. Palmer’s personal experience adds a unique weight and substance that is reflected in her work where her willingness to expose and share her own story helps people give voice to their own personal human drama. Out of this comes Palmer’s natural sense of dialogue and performance and her ability to capture spontaneity through great casting choices and direction. Palmer’s directing style is emotional, visual storytelling, dialogue and kids with a touch of subtle, dry humor. Her growing body of work naturally attracts pharmaceutical and healthcare related projects as well as many others. Palmer believes strongly that mentoring and sharing information is essential to the growth of a creative economy. This blog was born out of that belief. Contact Palmer at palmer@redmaiden.tv

Freelancers Union - Really!

If you have been to NYC lately you've likely seen their posters as you ride the subway. The Freelancers Union is a national membership organization that's free to join. They offer products like insurance and retirement to their members and provide political advocacy for all independent workers. If you work in the film/video/television chances are you are a freelancer and either don't have insurance or provide for your own. If that sounds like you, here's a group you need to know about and should join. And since it's November and that means it's open enrollment month for health insurance now is the time to join this group and sign up for their affordable health, dental and disability insurance plans. You can also start a 401K plan for retirement here. And they offer a lot more such as discounts, events, workshops, etc. It's about time a group like this came along!

They have also been lobbying heavily at the fed, state and city level for a reasonable health care plan for the underinsured. After all, it is right up their alley.
