Back in NY but keep a Foot in Germany


Ute Schneider of Schneider & Groos and I in Hamburg, Germany

I am back from Europe and building base, again, in New York, looking at the amazing amount of opportunities for self-actualization in the film, television and theater industry here.

Sure, the times are tough, but let's not forget that great creativity comes from taking a look inward during your darkest moments.

Thus, I'm off to the HD Expo in NYC this week, the New Jersey Reel Film Festival over the weekend, and Asbury Shorts: An Evening of the Worlds' Best Films on Sunday, looking to make contacts, learn new industry techniques, and promote my film/HD production company, Personae Productions & Entertainment, as well as my presenting/acting/voice-over career (www.heidiphilipsen.com).

Lots to do and see. Now, if only I could bicycle to save on gas!
