Yesterday, October 16th, Jane Rosenthal, Paula Weinstein, Tribeca, and CHANEL hosted the 4th annual Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program kickoff luncheon at Locanda Verde in New York. They brought together a hundred women leaders in entertainment – actors, directors, writers, producers, casting directors and costume designers – to celebrate their filmmaking community and the ten emerging female filmmakers selected for the program.

During the luncheon, Jane Rosenthal, Executive Chair of Tribeca Enterprises and Paula Weinstein, EVP of Tribeca Enterprises spoke about the importance of women storytellers coming together and building a community of both established and emerging filmmakers alike. Jane Rosenthal said, “We’re not waiting for the rest of the world to catch up with us; we’re leading and . . . we’re persisting.”

At the end of the program, each of the five projects will be pitched by the filmmakers to a jury of industry experts. One filmmaker will be awarded full financing to produce her short film, along with the support of Tribeca Studios to make the project. The four other projects will each be awarded grant funds to continue the development of their films.

More Premieres, More TV, Mulitmedia & ‘Taxi Driver’ – #Tribeca #Film #Festival Opens #fb

It’s been four decades since Robert De Niro looked into a mirror and snarled, “You talkin’ a me?” before jerking his arm and aiming a pistol at his own image. On April 21 the Tribeca Film Festival will head to the Upper West Side’s Beacon Theatre to mark that anniversary with a screening of Taxi Driver hosted…

I figured I'd do you the solid and brighten your day by having the (1) show up next to messages! I'll also follow!So what was it like being a "hollywood insider" ? What did you exactly do in the buissness?

Thanks for the solid! I could use more solids in my life.

I worked in Hollywood for almost ten years after college, for most of that time at a company called Spring Creek Productions based at Warner Bros. My producer/bosses were Paula Weinstein and Mark Rosenberg, a married couple who produced The Fabulous Baker Boys, among many others.

I worked in the company's story department, tracking down scripts, books, treatments and the like for my bosses to consider producing. I worked on Analyze This, Fearless (the Jeff Bridges one, not the Jet Li one) and a few more.

I also worked on a tabloid TV show, answered the phones in the post department at a big TV producer's company, crewed some commercials and a TV movie, and wrote a few screenplays (unproduced) (perhaps more accurately, "unseen by anyone").

I LOVED working in Hollywood. If you're into movies and moviemaking, you really can't learn about it anywhere else. As a young guy right out of college, I had a blast roaming the studios, poking my head onto sets, bumping into celebrities and listening to the stories of industry veterans.
