    Hi. I'm Rob Robinson. Most recently I've been working as Inventory Manager at Alpha Props in Sun Valley, CA, where I cleaned up their data in RTPro, photographed and catalogued their entire collection of props and built a web catalogue for offsite customers to view their inventory.

    I'm interested in learning more about SyncOnSet software products including Asset Hub, who uses them, and if anyone would find my talents helpful with setup and management of those or any inventory software packages really.

    In my spare time, I write and make D.I.Y. shorts with my wife and our small circle of friends.

    Having helped manage a home video rental chain early in my career, I've seen plenty of movies... if I could only recommend one film everyone should see it would be LOCAL HERO directed by Bill Forsyth starring Peter Riegert and Burt Lancaster. It's simply sublime.

    I'm here to expand my network and maybe find some new opportunities. Don't hesitate to say, hi.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    I've attached my resume if anyone is interested.

    Hey everyone. Let me just say... I'm nervous as h377 but my therapist is rooting for me, and tired of listening to me all the same. So... here goes nothing.

    My name is Justin Mobley. I'm interested in all aspects of this business. Especially the PA's. They're freaking awesome. Shoutout to the Party Animals (PA)! They know how to have a good time, always. I really want to be an A-list multi-hyphenate. I'm an actor, writer, aspiring director, I would love to produce my own movies and produce other people's movies. I would definitely want to connect with and get legal help from any of my entertainment lawyer friends here.

    Films overall have inspired me because acting has truly been the best medicine for me to overcome trauma from things in my past. I'm grateful to the arts for giving me an outlet to untangle somethings, express myself, and high-five PA's cuz their the best. The ones I know at least. I'm not biased. Promise. I'm looking forward to work with, network, collaborate, and build legendary success with like minded creatives here. Thank you for inviting me and giving me the opportuntiy to possibly work with you all.

    HOWSY HOWDY!

    • My name is Ricky Bartlett and I am a SAG-AFTRA actor, producer and CBS Radio morning radio host. Originally from Georgia, but reside in the Chicago filming area.

    • I am mainly interested in the producers and crew groups

    • I have mainly been an actor, yet recently helped produce two films. I truly enjoyed the bts part of film-making

    • Anything Steven Spielberg! I love everything 80's, as long as we're not trying to remake 80's classics.

    • A job board. I'm not sure if there is one already, but I feel a job board connects a group more.

    Hi, my name is Leigh Ariana Trifari and my company is Triskelion PIctures Limited. I am an actress-turned producer currently living in the UK and I am interested in creating films about, for, and by women over the age of 55, because, in my opinion, there is a real need for those kinds of stories.

    I am interested in networking with other producers, line producers, and crew, as I am always looking for talented people to add to my roster.

    While I am currently the CEO and sole proprietor of Triskelion, I see myself as eventually being its Chief Creative Content Officer and Executive Producer, where I have a team of writers and producers meeting monthly to hatch new scripts and add to the company slate in a truly collaborative environment.

    I am most interested in film and cinematic history, and my company mission is to create "Classic Films for Modern Times". There are too many movies to mention which made me want to go into film rather than TV or theatre, but I can share that I was a film buff from a very early age and fell in love with many actors and actresses who I later discovered were British. It is perhaps by no small coincidence I am now living in Britain and attempting to leave my own mark on the British film industry.

    I'm new to the Production lot, so I don't know what I'd like to see quite yet. I do know that live networking events are extremely valuable, so maybe EP can get to organising some in London sometime?

    I look forward to meeting and making connections! Thanks EP for letting me know about this opportunity.

    Cheers!

    1. First things first, tell us your name - Hi I'm Corey Sienega, producer, content platform adviser in entertainment.
    2. What category are you interested in (students, producers, casting or production accountants)? - Looking for a place to talk to other producers, line producers, and for financing & incentives questions— but interested in everyone it takes to put a show together.
    3. What’s your position (or one you aspire to have)? - I'd like to get my project packaged and finances/sold!

    5. What do you want to see in the Production Lot, I'd love to see discussions from Producers and Line Producers about incentives and how to work around the old traditional models for producers to be able to make more projects as well as share in success when our projects succeed. (new financing models, incentives, etc.) and sharing intel with one another.

    Hey everyone.


    Director of Photography and producer based in Atlanta here! Looking to meet other professionals in the area and help support productions needs.


    Currently producing an original crime/comedy short film that takes some tonal influences from the Coen Brothers called “Five O’Clock Somewhere”.

    Producers have busy lives so we had to delegate the making of the pitch video to a PA…I think it turned out ok?

    1. Hi, I'm Sophie Niesenbaum! My professional journey began as a Production Assistant, where I dove into the world of filmmaking. Now, as a seasoned Directors Assistant, I've had the privilege of working alongside a variety of exceptionally talented directors. However, my heart lies in pursuing my ultimate passion: directing and writing for television and film. It's a dream I'm steadfastly committed to, and every day, I'm working tirelessly to turn that dream into reality.
    2. I'm interested in making mentorship connections and engaging with fellow creatives who share the ambition of bringing their visions to life on screen.
    3. I'm currently writing and directing independent projects, music videos, and branded content with the intent of one day transitioning to a studio deal.
    4. Influenced by the multifaceted talents of directors like Jordan Peele, I'm drawn to exploring the intersection of comedy and horror. Shows such as The Office, Working Moms, Abbott Elementary, and PEN15 inspire my comedic storytelling. In contrast, I also draw inspiration from the dark intensity of shows like of Killing Eve, Severance, and Twin Peaks (David Lynch being another director I deeply admire). My favorite movie is Get Out, however Bridemaids is a close second. Much like Jordan Peele, I aspire to embrace the versatility of genre in my creative endeavors.
    5. I'm looking forward to connecting with other professionals on Production Lot.

    Hello,

    I'm Marques Womack and I'm interested in producers & crew.

    I currently work as an APOC for various tv and would love to venture out into feature films. The ultimate goal for me is to become a producer, but I don't mind working as a production coordinator for now.

    Godzilla was the film series that inspired me to become a filmmaker. It unlocked something in me that enabled my passion for cinema and helped me expand on my creativity.

    I'm new to the production lot but after I become familiar with this, I'm sure I will have updates on what I would love to see.

    I have also attached my current resume, with contact information included. I can't wait to see what opportunities the Production Lot brings!

    1. Hi all! My name is Sam Poarch (PoarchCPA@gmail.com), I am a CPA out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and no I didn't take a left turn (thanks Bugs).

    2. I am interested in almost all aspects of Production Accounting, but I would like to get my foot in the door in Payroll Accounting

    3. I have worked as a Payroll Clerk and as a 2nd Second Assistant Accounting and I am itching for more work.

    4. I'll go with an obvious choice for favorite movie (not necessarily my all-time favorite): The Accountant with Ben Affleck, they actually showed scenes of an accountant at work that were really accurate.

    5. I want to see more opportunities for all of us accountants in New Mexico. For some reason producers don't know we exist and hire almost exclusively from out-of-state. If you are a producer in need of accountants, contact IATSE local 480, the Albuquerque Film Office and/or the New Mexico Film Office. There are a lot of us looking for work.

    Take my email … please (thanks Henny)

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Alexander Haessner and I am a cinematographer based out of Los Angeles. I am interested in connecting with producers and directors to potentially collaborate on future projects.

    I am a cineast and watch a lot of movies; it's hard therefore to point out any favorites. I can however mention some DPs or directors I love to watch and who influenced my style: I am in awe with the cinematography of Janusz Kaminski, Harris Savides, Emmanuel Lubezki, Benoit Delhomme and Darius Khondji. Newer cinematographers I love are Chayse Irvin and Brandford Young. All time favorite directors are Federico Fellini, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Marcel Carne, Yasujiro Ozu and Stanley Kubrik.

    My hope is to connect with like-minded people to start creating more amazing content!

    Resumee enclosed

    thanks Guys!

    Hello, all. Name is David Shepherd and I'm relatively new to the industry. I've worked as a SetDec overhire with IATSE Local 481 since November, 2018. I finally gained enough time on set to qualify for full union membership in July, 2023 by adding my life experience as a licensed boat captain (holder of a 50-ton Masters Inland/Near Coastal ticket, specializing in sport boats up to 30+ feet). Recently I lucked into a small speaking role with an indie movie that was partially shot here in the Northeast (CT) in 2023 called Fog of War–a dream come true. It also fired up the long latent acting bug, so I also have an eye out for any role I might be a good fit for. In my previous life I was a graphic designer/copywriter/art director for 25+ years, primarily in Boston. I'm looking forward to any and all opportunities to further my experience in the film and television industries, and hope my participation here might help me to obtain that goal. Weigh in at will…

    Hi everyone, My name is Matthew Herter (matt@33wolves.com) and I am a growing Unit stills/Key art photographer and I am based in Los Angeles, CA.

    2. I have an interest in just about all categories here as I feel its always good to continue to grow knowledge in any way I can but my main focus would be within crew, producers, tv and film education, networking and the mentor program.

    3. I have been a fairly established photographer outside on the tv/film world for a number of years now with different large businesses and celebrities that I have worked with on numerous projects including multiple projects with the Michael Jackson family, Sony and Epic records, FUTURE, Venus Brown and more. I have also worked on a few smaller productions with some larger names attached to them.

    4. The work that really got me chasing my goals here within cinema were work by Hopper Stone and Jasin Boland. The ability to document the storytelling behind the creation of movies and help create images that will be used to effectively promote the production was something so rewarding to me as a photographer. Movies/shows list could go on forever but most recently Masters of the Air really did something to me on a deep level.

    5. I would really like to connect with as many people as I can through production lot. I enjoy getting as much insight from anyone I can and continue to network and establish strong working relationships. As I am sure we all know, it can be an uphill battle continuing to grow here but I welcome any and every connection I can make. Please don't hesitate to reach out and start a conversation!

    Hello everyone! My name is Ruby Rosas. I have my bachelors in Fine Art with a concentration in Fashion Merchandising. Since graduating college I have only worked in the fashion and wardrobe styling industry. I was working in Louisiana in 2021 through 2023 in the costume department on various films. I now have moved to Denver, Colorado and am looking to keep pursing costuming and make connections.

    The most influential film for me to go into fashion has been Mahogany with Diana Ross and the Whiz. I feel that the costuming and creativity from those films were so creative and have had a lasting impression on fashion today. What I would like to see from Production Lot is to meet other film workers and creatives and to gain more experience in the costuming world.

I have edited four feature films, 20+ shorts, 40+ music videos, and hundreds of hours of talking heads.

  • Jacob Neville
    Jacob Neville Member Posts: 1

    Hi! My name is Jacob Neville

    I am interested in producing, specifically focused on the distribution, marketing, and branding of a project.

    I am currently an Associate Producer for a feature film. In the long term, I aspire to be a director/editor. My shorter term goal is to learn all about producing where I can gain experience in distribution and branding.

    The Island President, a doc about Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of the Maldives, has inspired me to take on my own doc projects. It empowers us to think about our role as stewards of this planet, and how we can enable a future for generations to come.

    I want to see the Lot be a space for everyone to feel excited to take their own path within the industry. Personally, I am looking for mentors, support, and opportunity.

    Hi there! My name is Rachel McReynolds and I have been in the industry for about 3 years going on 4 now.

    I'm interested in connecting with production crews, producers, other fellow PAs, DPs, Directors, and just about anyone lol. I love connecting and learning from new people and expanding our horizons.

    I currently work as a social media manager/ Production assistant. I hope to aspire to be a producer or a UPM one day.

    Film or television that has inspired me… wow that's a loaded question. I am a die-hard FRIENDS fan… lol… and I love The Office, Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, and currently binge-watching Modern Family. I love sitcoms and how they bring joy and laughter to everyone. There's something special about sitcoms that draws me in and I truly find comfort from them.

    Films that have inspired me with their cinematography and storytelling are The Revenant, Parasite, and even Don't Worry Darling. There are so many more, but just to name a few.

    What I would like to see in the Production Lot is the ability to connect with others in the industry. It'll be nice to have a community outside of Facebook to be able to connect on gigs or just to ask questions. I am very excited to be a part of this community and I look forward to networking with everyone and learning more about your aspirations.

    Hi team! My name is Jordan Keeble and most recently I worked as an assistant clearances coordinator and am now working towards making the jump to clearances coordinator. I've been an assistant coordinator for six years with experience in television (network, cable, and streaming!), feature films, and even worked on a couple VR experiences for Meta.

    I'm interested in connecting with art department and all production crews, even script supervisors to prove myself in this role.

    Probably the most influential films on me were the Lord of the Rings trilogy. From the story to the production design and direction, I think they're masterpieces.

    So excited to grow my circle and connect with more people in the industry! I've primarily worked remotely, despite being located in LA, and would love to meet more people!
