I’m originally from Austria, Vienna and I’m a screenwriter gone actress gone screenwriter/producer/director gone actress gone videographer/filmmaker - please don’t ask, long story ;) I’m currently putting together my portfolio and while I have an (almost) endless list of ideas, it’s the putting it to reality (or into my camera, for that matter) what seems to be taking forever. Plus, I’m very much NOT liking how exhausting it is to try and convince prospective clients that the people they currently turn to for help are doing it wrong by telling them what they actually need (in the best and politest way possible, of course) and that the “solution” their videos are representing is that of problems that they don’t have. Sometimes this really stings because I can see their potential (might be the actress in me) and it just keeps makes me wondering why people always listen to the “bigger group of people” regardless of how wrong they are. If anybody has any advice on how to deal with this, please feel free to drop it into the comments or send a network request and we can chat in the messenger. Anyway, hi, I’m Lisa - nice to meet you all! (If you guys wanna get in touch on Instagram as well, this is me: https://www.instagram.com/shotbylisa.mov)

Great to see you at IYW again, Lisa Bogner. "Please don’t ask, long story." Oh, I gotta ask, Lisa Bogner. Haha
That does sound exhausting. I don't have any advice, but hope you get some advice to help.

Hi Lisa,
Nice to meet you at Stage 32! Think of this way, you’ve accomplished being a producer and actress. My question is - is your portfolio for being a producer or an actress? (Smiles). ;-)
Ah - people problems - hmm - I’ll sent a request and we’ll discuss best options.
One thing I’ve learned from Fabiana Claure - music coach - is to think and have Vision like the giraffe, (look above) not the turtle (level). I think this is the situation you’re talking about above.
Have a great weekend!

Kerry Kennard my portfolio is for producer/cam op since I’ve put the acting thing on ice.
I’m not really sure I understand what you mean by the giraffe vs. turtle analogy?

Maurice Vaughan thanks! Been a hassle and a half to get this out into the world. I’m still hoping for the best, though.

You're welcome, Lisa Bogner. Have you thought about posting your logline, synopsis, and pilot on your Stage 32 profile for producers/etc. to see?

Maurice Vaughan I have, there were just times when I was changing around a lot, so I didn’t think it would make a lot of sense. I haven’t actually looked at the script in a few years

Ok, gotcha, Lisa Bogner. I do the same thing sometimes. I take scripts off my profile, rewrite them, and post them again. I definitely suggest members post their projects on their profiles. I sold four short scripts to a producer that way. Hope you sell your series! I wanna watch it!
