Upon arriving in Nashville, contacts at the William Morris Agency and
Creative Artists Agency (CAA) introduced her around town. One person
she met was Kitty Moon, who would later offer her an opportunity with
Scene Three Media Works. Before Grace could settle into a new job, her
friends at Landsburg called to offer her three months' work on two
movies and a television pilot they were shooting in South Carolina. "It
was a six day week, 18 hour
day life," she recalls. By the
time Grace returned to
Nashville, she was burnt out
on filmmaking and stayed
home for a few months before
accepting work at a nonprofit
organization.
A few months later, she
received a phone call from
Kitty Moon, leading to an
interview with partner Marc
Ball. "The timing couldn't
have been better, because I
was ready to get back in the
business. I came in and met
with Marc for three hours."
Grace joined Scene Three in
1990 and has been with the
company for just over a decade. During that time she has produced
numerous music videos, commercials, and television projects, including
the series CeCe's Place starring CeCe Winans, an Emmy-nominated cam-
paign for Nashville Public Television, "Tracy Lawrence: In the Round," a
one hour special for CMT/TNN, and the CBS special "A Day in the Life
of Country Music."
