Hi! I'm Lisa. I work in TV and film as writer, producer & editor. This is my blog about the work I do and the news, trends and technologies that touch it. With the occasional totally unrelated bits thrown in.

Acting is not about being someone different. It’s finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

Earlier generations have weathered recessions, of course; this stall we’re in has the look of something...
No laugh track required.
This Is Funny, You Should Look At Your Life, Look At Your Choices of the Day: Brian Gallivan offers his Sassy Gay Friend services to BLACK SWAN’s Nina Sayers.

“For decades the TV industry has operated on a currency of youth, creating shows that appeal to 18- to 49-year-olds, the age group advertisers traditionally consider most likely to buy new products, switch brands and spend on everything from cars to soft drinks. But as the nearly 80 million baby boomers continue to age out of the coveted demographic—the oldest boomers are turning 65 this year, the youngest 47—networks want to charge advertisers more to reach them. After all, these viewers still watch a disproportionate amount of TV, and they control half of all U.S. consumer spending.”

Seems like the networks are beginning to get it.

Going to SXSW? RSVP for the IFC Crossroads House. List closes 3.10.11, so don’t wait.
Is this the catalyst for Charlie Sheen’s crazypants radio rant and the last vanity card Chuck Lorre will ever write? That would make me sad. While not a regular viewer of his comedies, I do love reading his vanity cards. See the full archive here.
“Science show that fertility and movie offers drop off steeply for women after forty. The baby-versus-work life questions keep the writer up at night. She has observed that women, at least in comedy, are labeled ‘crazy’ after a certain age. The writer has the suspicion that the definition of ‘crazy’ in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore. The fastest remedy for this ‘women are crazy’ situation is for more women to become producers and hire diverse women of various ages.”
Tina Fey speaks my language
“I used to have maybe 10 kids come to my window every morning. They’d come at 9 o’clock, knock on my window and wake me up, and I had to be out at 9:30 a.m. They’d give me a chance to take a shower and give me a chance to eat breakfast. But I had to be out there at 9:30, because that’s when they wanted to play. I played with them for maybe an hour… There was a drugstore on the corner, and I used to go buy ice cream every day for them before day games.”
Willie Mays, the Say Hey Kid, telling New York kids what it was like back in the day. Can you imagine Derek Jeter doing this now? Me neither. Joba, maybe.
“Marsh admitted that he’d taken some liberties with the tale of Nim, saying, ‘I created my version, a dramatic version of this story.’”
James Marsh, director of the new documentary, PROJECT NIM, which screened at SFF last night. This is a refrain I’m hearing more and more from documentary filmmakers. See also: Werner Herzog.
By the way, if you’re not reading Nicole LaPorte’s Notes from Sundance dispatches, you’re silly.
“Sundance Channel’s CARLOS—a three-part miniseries about the assassin and international terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal—sent HBO home without the win for Best Miniseries or Television Movie for the first time since 2000, when (gasp) Showtime snuck in a win. Claire Danes still won for TEMPLE GRANDIN, Al Pacino won for YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, and THE PACIFIC won the Critics Choice Award Friday…but, sigh, it’s not the same.”
Heading out to Park City? Definitely stop by Sundance Channel HQ, our first “exclusive, all-access, multimedia experience” at 692 Main @ Heber. Free coffee every morning, happy hours every evening, swag, giveaways, blogging stations and a live broadcast center mean it will be one of the hottest spots downtown.
I, of course, will be back in New York producing promos for campaigns that kick off shortly after the festival ends, so if you go, send me pics!
