Lisa Goldman - Never Give Up!
In this episode we speak with Writer, Creator, Producer, and Educator Lisa Goldman, who along with Heather Kenyon and Munjal Shroff created the award-winning preschool animated Netflix series, “Deepa & Anoop”.
Lisa’s motto is “Never Give Up!” After a wonderful, life-altering trip to India and 17 years of perseverance, Lisa and her team worked out a development deal with Mattel that landed “Deepa & Anoop” on Netflix. This series won the 2023 Kidscreen Awards for “Best New Animated Preschool Series,” “Best Inclusivity,” “Best Voice Talent,” and “Best Music.”
Brought to India by animation guru Ram Mohan, Lisa served on the international jury for the Mumbai International Film Festival and taught a workshop for Ram’s animation school. Lisa became fascinated with the “Page Three” column in The Times of India dedicated to Bollywood stars and from there, her inspiration for the series took flight.
Lisa continues to develop shows with heart and humor, animated or live-action, across the family and children’s media landscape. Lisa’s other accomplishments include serving as story editor on “BabyRiki,” a Russian preschool animated series adapted into neutral English for the British market.
Lisa is currently developing two unscripted series with Citizen Skull Productions. She loves writing episodes on other people’s shows and also has several new series she’s developing and preparing to pitch for preschoolers and tweens.
Dedicated to the NYC animation scene, Lisa was appointed to the NYC Animation Industry Council that advises The Animation Project (TAP). She is a past president of Women in Animation (WIA) NYC and continues to mentor and network creators in our industry. She’s published articles in Animation Magazine and AWN.COM. Lisa also teaches classes on developing animated series and business practices at Montclair State University in New Jersey, previously at School of Visual Arts and privately.
Lisa is also co-founder of Tour de Forks, a culinary travel company based in New York City. When not busy with all these interests, Lisa can be seen walking her Fox Terrier Lulu, in Central Park or posting for Lulu on Instagram @luluwhythelongface. Lulu has successfully persuaded Lisa to write a picture book called, “Hey Lulu Why the Long Face?” based on comments received during their walks
