Working On Both Sides Of The Camera: Featuring Film Producer Charlotte Larsen

Ever feel like you’re juggling too much and running too much on coffee? Our guest, film producer Charlotte Larsen knows the feeling all too well.

From New Zealand to LA, Larsen is a multifaceted professional with her hands in several projects such as the NZ series “Auckward Love” (2015), and films “Gloria” (2014) and “Great Expectations” (2012.) Her passions not only focus on producing and acting, but also mentoring and uplifting emerging artists.

Right out of college, Larsen started the Emerging Artists Trust in New Zealand where she mentors and funds up and coming artist in film, theater, and the visual arts.

Larsen’s advice for multitaskers on avoiding burnout:
_13:20 “first of all when I started out, I was trying to do too much. I was always like, I want this project and this project and this project, and I'm going to get them all done. And I realized that it's great to be eager and, you know, to want to learn and to want to make stuff happen. But you kind of have to sit back and go, okay, which one do I want to focus on first? And that might mean that you lose several opportunities on the way, but the one opportunity take is the one that's going to work and succeed. So I always say. Take it slow. Don't rush. Do one thing at a time. Maybe two, if you, you know, once you were a bit more experienced, but one project at a time. And then my other piece of advice I always say is don't rely on coffee to get you through the day. You just end up a mess. So try, even though we know we work 16, 18 hour days, try and get sleep. Sleep is the ultimate magic. Isn't it?”
