Djamila Le Pair's Lounge Discussions

Thank you for doing that Richard. Will go armed with a (photo) camera on Tuesday.

Looking forward to the pics, Djamila!

You space is reminiscent of Andy Warhol's Factory here in New York. Any films that you would like www.goindetv.com to see would be welcome with a open heart!

I'm afraid I got too engrossed in the conversations and I completely forgot to take pictures. Take 2 next time.

I look forward to it, Djamilia. Glad to hear everything went well.

I think you are correct Craig but sometimes we would like to know the person behind it the personal touch.

Sadly I've had no luck finding a producer for my scripts.

Gary was just in American Hustle with Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, et. al. He's doing something right and I see him on here every day meeting people all over Stage 32. That's what it's for. I'm proud to have him in my network because I love seeing his career grow.

I haven't had a lot of luck but I have had some. But I have also made some great connections and hopefully one day it will lead to more work. But I am on here everyday looking and meeting.

It's like with all kind of business. If you are regularly present, people will get to know you and will be reminded about you, when the day comes that a project is taking off and they can connect you to the topic. It can take weeks, months, or years. You just got to start somewhere, but also not only at once place like on stage 32. Also on people in your neighborhood and in other networks. But you should also not forget to take the opportunity to join some project, so that you have something to show and to prove that you have an idea about it. When I tried to get my first credits from some short films on imdb, it didn't work. The projects didn't get accepted. A year later my credit as Production Manager turned up on the worst film I helped to produce for a Filmmaking student for his Final Thesis FiIm. Somehow I was Happy to have a credit, but not really this one. The Filming had been a good exercise & experience but not really a good film. Nevertheless I got the idea to get the other better projects up there as a reference too. The Filmmakers weren't really eager to do anything more with their films two years after they had made them. I wanted to get my credits on imdb so I kind of forced them to give their original video material and submitted them to several International FIlmfestivals. For "Border Stories - Illegal Imigration" we got 4 Awards and for "Life Lines" 1 Award and all are up on imdb now. In the meantime I got another project, where we were officially selected for a Festival Tour in 5 German cities and got another Award in Switzerland. Since these are small Festivals and not listed on imdb I managed to get all pictures available for the event, to post some on imdb. There is always a way to make things happen. In most cases you can manage almost everything with hard diligent work.
