Rising Star Kristel Elling: “Acting is a collaborative art form; You can’t make it on your own, alone; Find your team, your crew, your tribe”

Acting is a collaborative art form. You can’t make it on your own, alone. You need other people. Find your team, your crew, find like-minded people, find your fans and supporters, find your tribe. It’s easier together. Alone you can go fast, together you can go far.
