1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 After many years&amp;nbsp;in the banking industry, Mara Lesemann took an abrupt left turn to&amp;nbsp;become a screenwriter and film producer. She'd never written creatively before, and had had no previous experience in the film industry.&amp;nbsp;Now she's got&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;feature film under her belt (you can watch it on&amp;nbsp;Amazon&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;iTunes), and another in production. So how DOES one&amp;nbsp;suddenly go from a decades-long&amp;nbsp;financial services career to a brand new life&amp;nbsp;as an east coast mini-mogul? Join me for a conversation with Mara Lesemann, writer and producer of SURVIVING FAMILY and the upcoming DETOURS. Lots of great nuggets in this one, including: Finding the courage (and the money) to do what you love. Working with distributors and aggregators. Gaming&amp;nbsp;the theatrical release system. Recruiting talent with major motion picture experience. Handling&amp;nbsp;publicity on a shoestring budget ...and SO much more.
