Lost in Jersey

In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing Yana Collins Lehman, the CEO of Trevanna Post, a film post-production company based in New York City. Yana shared her fascinating journey from growing up in a small forest in Northern California to becoming a significant figure in the post-production industry.

We delved into the intricacies of post-production work, including the importance of tax credits, the role of post-production advisors and accountants, and the challenges of managing budgets for films. Yana also highlighted the significance of the New York and New Jersey tax credits in attracting film productions to these states.

Yana discussed her involvement with Montclair Film, where she serves on the board and chairs the education committee. She hinted at some exciting plans for the film festival in October.

On a personal note, Yana revealed her passion for triathlons and her experiences participating in events like the Ironman Lake Placid and the Escape from Alcatraz.
