Hello Fresno Filmmakers:

So we are treading uncharted waters here in the new age of digital filmmaking. Indie films which were once only available to view at festivals and in very select cities can now come to cities like Fresno, via VOD and the internet. Now, better than ever, filmmakers have new and exciting means to connecting to their audience. "Community" transcends physical location. I'm optimistic. Of all things that should not be exploited, creativity is the exception.

Please do keep me updated with your projects!

List your credits:

Vanessa grew up in Fresno, California. She has attended Columbia College of Hollywood in Los Angeles and is currently completing her BA at the New School University in New York City. She has worked with established production companies on both coasts, working in Development and also acting as Assistant Producer on award-winning, independent feature films. She currently works in the Publicity Dept. for the legendary Weinstein Company.

Writing credits include: Shafted, Comatose, and Foreign Politics. Her latest work, Everleigh Yours, adapted from a NYTimes bestselling novel is currently in development for a major cable television network. It centers around rise-and-fall of the most notorious brothel in history: the Everleigh Club, set against the gritty backdrop of early 1900's-circa Chicago.

She is also set to direct her first independent feature, The Collared Greens. Slated for production Spring 2010 in New York City and San Francisco.

Tell us about the equipment you own:

Should you get the bug to shoot a scene or two in New York City (while going broke in the the process), offer advice on our local services, facilities, etc. And of course point out the little known cheap hotels here in the city.

Mostly, I help fellow filmmakers and colleagues out with their screenplays and budgeting. I usually get paid do to both, but for a Fresnan? I think something can be arranged...
