Colleen Dunn "CD" Saftler

My creative career began in the theatre, experimenting with a variety of roles that included stagecraft and stage managing to directing and acting – the latter, where I instinctually settled in, served to animate the creative voice within. Years later, as a seasoned actress, I yearned to expand my area of influence out into the world; the voices wanted a bigger stage. I enrolled at USC to add the art of filmmaking to my creative quiver – artistic arrows that will hopefully hit their influential mark and satisfy the ever growing internal and external need to make a difference. I am not a cock-eyed optimist, but rather a positively charged realist; I am actor, director, writer, producer – a storyteller aimed at making her mark by focusing on the upside of the down. A highly organized, dedicated, solution-oriented problem-solver, I stand poised to collaborate, cooperate and conjugate myself, to inspire my staff, to do what is necessary to get the job done.
