As the mastermind behind many of the films on her streaming platform, Passionflix, Tosca Musk is a successful filmmaker who has created many movies you may have heard of. If you are a Hallmark fan, you may have seen the 2011 film, “Holiday Engagement,” for which she was a producer. She’s also directed and produced a number of other films, many of which happen to be romances.
According to The Telegraph, Musk discovered her passion for filmmaking as a teenager. At 17, she bought her first video camera which allowed her to begin practicing her craft by making short films. Upon leaving college, she packed her bags for Hollywood and became the Magnolia films’ director of development. As she told WWD, she quickly discovered the challenges of indie filmmaking. “I realized that it is really hard to do it on your own,” she said. With the help of her now-billionaire brother, Elon Musk, she directed her first movie, titled “Puzzled,” in 2001. However, while she acknowledged that her family can help open doors, she insisted to the outlet that it was her own hard work that made a production happen.
As she told The Telegraph, she encountered other obstacles too. “‘Every time I pitched myself as a director, they chose the male director who had made one short film whereas I had far more experience,” she griped. Luckily, Passionflix allows Musk to explore her full potential, without compromise.
