“Screen Presence is officially the go-to for amazing recommendations. Thank you so so much Lisa, Jessica is fabulous!”
“I’d hit a roadblock and was hesitant about making my next steps in the industry. Lisa advocated for me to go out of my comfort zone and apply for a placement that I’d have never felt ready for if not for her encouragement.”
What’s On – Upcoming Events in 2026
How to start before you feel ready — using what you already have.
This session focuses on removing the biggest barrier filmmakers feel — waiting for permission. Our speakers share how they made their first shorts using limited resources and community support.
You’ll leave with practical ways to start immediately and a clearer understanding of what a “first film” actually needs to be.
