About
Bonnie Hawthorne is the most successful failure you’ve ever met. Always a traveler on the bumpy backroad not taken, she ignored conventional wisdom every step of the way: skipped prom and her high school graduation, dropped out of NYU film school despite a fancy scholarship, never married, always freelanced, and blew her IRA on adventure. She accidentally left the Los Angeles TV world to make a film. Soon, she found herself living full time in the Mojave Desert. These days, she shoots a lot of timelapse, writes on Substack, learns about new technology, and rides a bike with very fat tires.
A fortune-teller in New Orleans once told her, “You are gonna be such a neat old bag.” That is her current goal.
““Her creativity is matched only by her work ethic. She gets things done! I guarantee she’ll come up ideas and solutions that haven’t occurred to you. We will absolutely work with her again.”
