Introduce Yourself : Why bother? by Olivier Egli

Olivier Egli

Why bother?

Well the reason why is always the most crucial one. As a 38 year old retired commercial director who recently relocated from Switzerland to sunny Los Angeles I am mainly here to focus on what I really care about and why I joined the hordes of movie makers in the first place: to refine my skills in telling my stories better. I have a feature screenplay I am currently developing and which has a few European producers interested, and this group of talented people with whom we intend to crank out short films over the next few months. Also I am about to start preproduction on a documentary that took 12 years to get where it’s at right now, so fingers crossed. I really hope that this platform will help me get in touch with people who share my enthusaims and who are willing to span forces in order to tackle whatever is next.

Hey Olivier, when you say commercial director, are you talking advertising? I ask because I am a recently retired Radio General Sales Manager. Yes, I'm about to request we connect, so if you see this first; you've been warned. Cheers man! -k

Hi Oliver. What genre is the screenplay and what are your areas of film-making interest? All the best in your foray into the "wilds" of sunny Los Angeles.
