Producer, Director, Writer, Debra Fulk grew up in St. Louis, Mo, and now resides in Fredericksburg, VA. Her goal is to use her talents to film and release documentaries that focus on social issues that harm the quality of life of those that have no voice. Her first film experience was during her 15-month long tour in Iraq when assigned as the unit historian, she interviewed all soldiers of her engineer unit and filmed the dangerous task that each one performed. After 26 years as a soldier including 20 years taking college courses in 8 institutions, she is a senior at George Mason University.
Following an Associate degree in photography, she attended Virginia Commonwealth University, Academy of Art University, San Francisco, and San Francisco State for film and video studies. She has written 7 short screenplays, directed 4 short films, one of which was a 12-minute Docudrama Tigress shown on the big screen, and a short video covering the US Army History Museum.
Currently, she is writing and filming two 8-10-minute films, one a mixed genre Sci-Fi/comedy fiction film, Just Fourteen Dayz an entertaining film of a young woman’s’ journey as she encounters many obstacles along her path to discovering self-confidence; and, a documentary, Queen Devine, about the strength of the tragedy-filled portion of her young adult life suffered under Jim Crow law by her 97-year old mother. She is acknowledged in When Janey Comes Marching Home by Dr. Laura Browder for recruiting and scheduling interview subjects.
