Bree Webber is a multi-faceted actor, filmmaker, and creative producer. Her experience includes producing for the NAACP Hollywood Bureau, developing content with JuVee Productions, and supporting cultural programming with The Diva Foundation.

This week on “This Is TV Now,” we talk to Webber about podcasting and the difficult terrain of navigating transitions as a solo creator, leveraging piecemeal collaborations to larger productions that require intentionality and honest creative partnership. Afterward, we extended the conversation a bit before discussing her hope for and belief in the future.

Who is the most underrated person in your industry right now?

Bree Webber: Oh my gosh. There are so many ways to go. Which industry? 

Good Tape: The one you define yourself in. 

BW: Me! You see, I like to make it dramatic. “Bree Webber. Kid from Detroit. Moved to California when she was 16. She’s really got it going on. Check her out.”

How would your haters describe you?

BW: “She thinks she’s all that.” That’s probably what people would say. But I think what is so unfortunate is that it took me so long to be comfortable in my own skin, or to even allow myself to be magnetic. There were so many years of me hiding and dimming myself down, you know, trying to be invisible to a degree. That was really miserable. So yeah, if people think I’m all that and a bag of chips, I ask, “What kind of chips?” [Laughs.]

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

BW: Oh my gosh. That’s a great question. I can’t sing it anymore. They told me I can’t sing it. “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. Is that true? Can I not sing it? 

GT: Oh. Yeah. That’s not for us to answer. 

BW: That’s my go-to. When I tell you I would shut it down. That is my favorite karaoke song.

What makes you optimistic about the future?

BW: You know what, I think that the hardest part of my life is over, and that it can only get better. I think that we go through really dark days sometimes, [but] I am optimistic that it has to get better. It wasn’t for not — it was not for no reason. So that’s what makes me optimistic.

Do you believe in ghosts?

BW: Ghosts are so real. There’s probably one sitting next to you!
