Candice always had a dream of working in film and she decided the time had come. She began searching for auditions and ways to get involved in the film industry. Then, through her photography business, she answered an online ad to be a Set-Photograher/PA and thus embarked upon her career in film. Candice continues to serve as Writer, Director, Producer, AD, Actress and Photographer on Independent Feature and Short Films, Television, Documentaries, Corporate and Non-Profit Promotional Videos.

She has written six feature length screenplays, five short films, industrials, a book, as well as two documentaries, one of which led Candice to film in Africa. Candice also wrote devotions for Lifeway's online Bible study website, promotions for the FamilyNet Channel and served for five years as an interviewer for the Dallas International Film Festival.
