After producing and co-producing with others, Bonnie decided to open her own film production company. In 2005 B.U.M. Productions Film Company was formed. "BUM is not an acronym. I care about the disenfranchised. The name BUM was already taken" is the quote when explaining where the company name came from. The first film she produced and directed was a short "Can We Be Honest?" the same year the company opened. In 2006 she wrote her second feature film "Those People", which she also produced and directed in late 2007. Bonnie has produced on the short films "Stolen Love" and "Batina's World" in which she co-executive produced with director Miki Holiday. Bonnie also produced on the short films "Tortured Life" and "P.O.M.E" in which she also served as assistant director on both films as well as executive produced the trailer "Wax Seal". Not to let any grass to grow under her feet, Bonnie wrote, directed and produced her first commercial "Train Entertain" a spec commercial for Tide you can find on YouTube channel 2013.
