Hey everyone!
I’m Alyssa. I’m a writer/actor that sometimes tries my producing hand on my own stuff. I also work as an office PA in TV. Good to meet you all!

Preferred film roles - writer/actor, though I was an EP on TPK as well.
The film thing you’re best at - writing dialogue
The film thing you’re worst at - having to make a call on the fly as a head of something. I can do it, I just tend to overthink and it makes me anxious.
I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hey, there! My name is Kevin Longa (currently in SF, California - although possibly moving to LA or NYC in near future), and I fellow Stareable member James Boo recommended I join.
I film and produce an internationally award-winning food documentary series called “TASTE With Kevin Longa” (or “TASTE,” for short). Each 5-10 min short film features an uncovered story about a food entrepreneur. As a one-man film team, so far I’ve filmed the series across America, Asia and Europe. I’ve filmed snail farmers in Vienna, dictator-fighting restauranteurs in Myanmar, ‘food hookers’ in Copenhagen, Michelin-starred chefs in Europe and 20 other stories. Here’s where you can watch sneak preview videos and join our free online premiere: tastewithkevin.com
Preferred film roles (in this order): Producer, director, cinematographer, correspondent/journalist, writer & editor
Best film ability: filming high-budget projects on shoe-string budgets
Worst film ability: vlogging/social media
Forest Grove is lovely! Glad to hear it.
Hi! My name is Rodrigo Diaz Ricci (RDRICCI in several projects since 1995)I have been a member of the forum for several months now. It has been a lot of help. I have raffled almost all the professional changes of S XXI and thanks to technology, I can make my own animated series for the web.
Name - Rodrigo
Location - Chile
Web series made (if any) - Ligeia the Vampire is my first web series.
Preferred film roles - As it is a very independent project. I practically do everything. My favorite roles are the creation (story, script) Design and animation. Music.
The film thing you’re best at - Project development.
The film thing you’re worst at - The worst thing for me is the whole sound part. It is something that is not my field, and for something, there is the figure of the Sound Engineer, which in my case, is too expensive to hire.
Hi everyone! Not new, either but welcoming all that are. 
You’ve found a fantastic place!

Hi, My Name is Rob James Verlander, I live in Salford UK. I have written a web series called “Porch Dogs” based in Manchester. Preferred film roles would be Screenwriter/Actor. The film thing I’m best at is Screenwriting, and the film thing I’m worst at is directing. Bit unusual for a screenwriter, I can see the scene in my head while I’m writing it, but I wouldn’t know where to start directing actors or setting up the scene lighting or blocking.
Hey there. My name is Daniel Hart, and I’m brand new to the Stareable community.
I currently reside in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, though I’ve lived all over the US in my twenty-two years. Other notable hometowns include Fort Wayne, IN and Eugene, OR.
I’ve been producing comedy short films and sketches for more than a decade, hundreds of which are available to watch on my YouTube channel. In 2017 my sister and I created the semiautobiographical, short-form comedic web series The Hart Siblings (which just so happens to be Stareable’s daily staff pick today). We’ve produced two seasons of the show with twenty-one episodes in total, and hopefully we’ll be able to start on a third season later this year.
Also, in 2017 my sister and I released a six-episode short-form comedic series entitled The Tales of Charlotte Wilson, P.I., based upon some other short films we’d produced and an award winning, produced stage play I wrote of the same name.
On The Hart Siblings I am an actor, writer, director, cinematographer, composer, and just about anything else you can think of. But my favorite role is being the showrunner and overseeing every aspect of the series. The Hart Siblings is, for all intents and purposes, a sitcom. Thus, every episode is its own self-contained story that rarely spills over from week to week. Nevertheless, I have to make sure that each episode feels like it’s a part of the same series, and that the tone, stories, and characters are consistent from week to week. That’s my favorite part of the job.
If I had to pick something I’m best at, it would probably be editing. Something I’m worst at, would likely be acting.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this community.
