LISA MASSEUR - EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

When Lisa Masseur went to the movies for the first time, she didn't want to leave. At least not before the credits were done rolling. She asked her mother, who are all those people? What do they do? As she got older and realized that a producer is the boss of all those people in the credits, and well... a career path was chosen.

After working on features and on TV shows, Lisa transitioned to the commercial world, working as a freelance Line Producer for a variety of production companies, both local, and out-of-town. Lisa sharpened her executive producing skills at Ebel Productions, before coming to RADAR in 2003.
