While performing in front of the camera for five seasons on Silk Stalkings, Kapture was inspired by the prolific series creator Stephen J. Cannell, writer of over 40 shows. Cannell supported Kaptures’ interest behind the camera and as a storyteller. Having directed episodes of Silk Stalkings, Kapture continued to explore both sides of the camera.
While working, Kapture observed various directing techniques and was intrigued to take a more in depth look at the dynamics “behind the scenes.” It was from the culmination of her acting and directing experiences that Kapture conceptualized The Process. Kapture presented the idea to world renowned acting, directing coach, and author Larry Moss, having been profoundly influenced by him as a director and master teacher. She started documenting the concept, The Process and began filming with Moss working in multiple venues and masterclass workshops with a variety of artists.
