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.

    OK recession, now I’m pissed.

    worst news I’ve heard…

    Seriously, people? Christopher, you are a lovely individual. But Ken Burns losing his funding is the worst news you’ve heard in regards to the recession?

    I hate to say this, but I’m going to anyway. PERSPECTIVE FAIL.

    When you make your living in film and television, and big media and production companies have instituted hiring freezes, and the freelance jobs have all dried up, and production is leaving the city because the tax benefits are being discontinued, and you learn that one of the most widely-respected filmmakers of our time can no longer get funding for his work, you can’t help but think, “if he can’t get his films made, how can I?”  Seems like a perfectly terrifying and reasonable perspective to me.
