Kim Fields Interview Page 4

Smitty: You said a mouthful.

KF:  (Laughs.)  So this is hopefully going to evolve into that kind of a place where, for a very small subscriber’s fee, a monthly subscription fee, that people can come and enjoy some really good entertainment in different genres of entertainment.

Smitty:  Oh, very cool.  Well, you have my full support and endorsement.

KF:  Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And we’ll create a link from us to you as well.

Smitty:  Oh yeah.

KF:  Because I love what you’re doing, absolutely.

Smitty:  Thank you very much. By all means, because I just love it when people have a passion like yourself and you’re doing something about it.

KF:  Thank you.

Smitty:  And I think that’s the important thing.  It’s easy for us to save the world verbally.

KF:  Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Smitty:  But at some point we have to stand up, and I applaud you for what you’re doing.

KF:  Well, thank you. To whom much is given, much is required.

Smitty:  True that.

KF:  So much is given, much is required, which also means that you will come under attack a lot more.  (Laughs.)

Smitty:  Yes indeed.

KF:  And the day we found out that we were having a son when we looked at the ultrasound. I called my mom while I was still on the table and they still had the little wand on my belly and full of tears and joy and oh my gosh, and Mom said “You know, honey, it’s a very different and unique responsibility being a vessel for a son right now,” and I take that very seriously. And I feel that same way in all these other areas of my life.  I think right now is just such a time of people being vessels.  You are an amazing vessel for what you are birthing and bringing forth every month.

Smitty:  Oh, well, thank you.  I never quite looked at it that way, but thank you.  (Laughs.)

KF:  Absolutely, absolutely.

Smitty:  Wow.  I’m taking that to heart and will not forget it. It’s a pleasure and part of my fuel for doing that is meeting people like yourself because it gives me that other charge of energy to keep doing what I’m doing and recognizing that it is worthwhile and it’s something that is making a difference and people enjoy.

KF:  Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Smitty:  Thank you, again for those wise and kind words. So tell me now, you’ve been a part of so many beautiful projects and you’re doing so many wonderful things at the present, you’ve got a series coming up, can you say anything about that?

KF:  Absolutely.  It’s a series called Jade Hicks and it’s gonna be a one-hour drama, which I’m excited about, working in a new genre for me right now in my career, and Jade Hicks is a very passionate and intense documentary filmmaker. It would be as if Michael Moore and the guy who did the McDonald’s Super Size thing— Morgan Spurlock and Sydney Bristow from Alias….If the three of them had a threesome, my character would be their love child.

Smitty:  Wow!  (Both laugh.)  Oh my goodness!

KF:  She’s not passive and she doesn’t do fluff.  Her documentaries are just one step away from being Oscar nominated, her documentaries are the kind of documentaries that speak to everyone, she’s globetrotting with getting to the story and getting to information. So even if you’re not into documentaries but love a good story and following good stories as they unfold, you’ll enjoy this story very much.

Smitty:  Yeah. I like that.

KF:  What she goes through to get whatever the story is and to be able to tell it.  She’s not a journalist, she’s a filmmaker.

Smitty:  Wow.  I can’t wait for this!

KF:  Thank you.  I’m excited about it.  And again, it came out of my love for documentaries and when I finally did my first documentary, again, the piece on Monk and Coltrane, just realizing I was still making a film and still telling a story but the information gathering is different and I’m dealing with facts and not fiction.

Smitty:  Right.

KF:  All these different elements, and I thought I would love to be able to play this kind of character at this stage in my career.

Smitty:  That’s gonna be something else! You have peaked my anticipation!

KF:  Oh, thank you so much.

Smitty:  Wow.  Well, you please stay in touch and let us know when it’s appropriate and we will definitely have you back and follow up.

KF:  Absolutely, absolutely, because you know somewhere in there I have to have some jazz music to underscore some of the scenes every time, every episode.

Smitty:  That’s what I’m talking about!  (Both laugh.)

KF:  Absolutely.

Smitty:  Oh, that’s very cool.  Well, Kim, you are just a brilliant person and I just love what you do and love your vibe.

KF:  Oh, thank you.  Thank you very much.

Smitty:  And I just want to say congratulations on so many wonderful things that you’ve been a part of and the things that you’ve created yourself, and we are behind you, girl.

KF:  Oh, thank you.  That means so much, truly.  Truly it does.

Smitty:  Yes indeed, and all the best in 2007 and beyond with all the many wonderful things that you’re doing, and once again congratulations on your beautiful family life.

KF:  Thank you.  As we got halfway through the interview, I had to prep a bottle and now I’m feeding Sebastian.

Smitty:  (Laughs.) Very cool.

KF:  It doesn’t get any better than this, I’ll tell you, doing an interview and feeding my son.  (Both laugh.)

Smitty:  Well, I’m so happy to be a part of it.  That’s cool. All right, we have been talking with the amazing Ms. Kim Fields. Kim, thank you so much and we certainly look forward to seeing you and following up on some of the extraordinary projects that you’re working on. All the very best and keep your flava strong.

KF:  Well, thank you very much, Smitty.
