Angie-Lembo
Angie Lembo, born Angela Marie Rodriguez, in Farubault, MN. At a young age, Angie was a natural actress. Full of charisma, storyteller and a larger than life personality. Always eager to be onstage, Angie played Clarinet, Sang and was involved in school plays. Notably, as en elderly woman with a strong British accent. She attributes her passion to her late grandmum; who encouraged Angie to be Angie.
In 2000, sick of Corporate life, Angie quit her near $40K salaried job and chose to pursue her passion; photography. Initially published, with a disposable Kodak camera, in Outdoors Weekly in August 2007; within a year her career took off. After surviving Septic Shock with organ failure in May 2009, Angie's health declined. Her professional career took a back seat. In 2014, Angie founded Sepsis Survivors Inc, a 501(c)3. Her vision was documenting the stories of Sepsis Survivors. In June 2015, Angie, her youngest son, pug and Film Director, Emily Croke set off cross country on SepsisTour2015; with a working title, Sepsis- The Silent Pandemic. Miss Croke has the footage in post production.
Angie feels visual art tells a story. Her passion for photography and creating documentaries are geared towards those whose voices haven't been heard; Sepsis Survivors and their loved ones. She often says, "I've a bucket list of recording artists I'd be humbled to photograph." Asked if she would photograph weddings. "Absolutely not. It's never been about the money. I'd rather photograph a legend, and have complete creative control." "Photographing live concerts is the best high. A surreal experience. I feel my Nikon is part of me. I'm so into the moment, I'm oblivious to my surroundings."

Reviews
Wisp (2013)
WISP ~Angie's review
I would highly recommend WISP to audiences that enjoy Crime/Detective/Drama series. With a small cast, the feel is more intimate. You begin feeling a connection with certain characters. An interesting mix; yet the cast blends well into the storyline. The feel is a cross between a major network show mixed with a reality show touch. Almost like Daytime Drama; but better. The intro song and graphics are well done. I feel this series will build a strong cult following. I've yet to see the most recent episode. However, the last had me hanging in suspense. Similar to awaiting a new season premiere. Or, catching your favorite show regularly. Until the next upcoming episode; I'll be watching my downloaded episodes. I look forward to seeing more of WISP. And, more of Paula Marcenaro Solinger's acting.
Thumbs UP!
