Interns: Where Are They Now? - Lisa Zelig




Our next Propulsion Media Labs former intern spotlight is on Lisa Zelig.  Lisa interned with us in Summer 2009.

Lisa’s fondest memory of interning with us was at shooting a commercial at a local carpet and flooring center. She also enjoyed hanging with Tom in his audio suite picking out jams and sound effects for the many radio spots that came through the door.

Today Lisa is the Office Manager and Associate Producer at Boston Digital Editing, a 4 person production company in downtown Boston. They create corporate videos, awareness documentaries, fundraising and web videos, and a variety of other projects. Lisa is the point person between the clients and her crew. For larger projects she writes scripts and handles every aspect of production from casting to scheduling to shooting and finally to post supervision. She is also in charge of writing budgets, proposals, and generating sales.

Her advice to industry newcomers is to know that “work ebbs and flows” and that sometimes you may be slammed or every one of your proposals might get tabled for a year.  To get through it you should stay dedicated and find the right group of people to work with.
