Enjoy this free 5 minute sample of “Coffee with KP: The Covid Collection” with Paramount Pictures Senior Vice President of Distribution Services Liza Pano. To hear the full, uncut and uplifting episode, consider upgrading your subscription to paid for $49 a year or just $8 a month.
In this episode of Coffee with KP: Covid Collection, we are talking to Paramount Executive Liza Pano, SVP of Worldwide Distribution Service. I met Liza at a birthday party years ago and was struck by how much she absolutely LOVED her job. I invited her to speak to my first USC class and she has been sharing her wisdom about the entertainment business with my students ever since. In her current role, she oversees a team of 42 people translating a director’s vision to countries and cultures around the world.
In this episode, you’ll learn what goes into dubbing & subtitling, what an executive looks for when hiring an intern or an assistant and how to stay at a company for a long time (Liza has been at Paramount nearly 20 years and her love for Paramount and what she does for a living is infectious!) This episode is particularly important to those who are interested in the global landscape of entertainment and if you have familiarity with languages, cultures and countries outside the US, you might want to consider a career in distribution services.
