LA & NY Industry Heavyweights to Panel 7th Anniversary Seminar of Collaboration...A Short Film Conte

1/28/2005

The seminar on Acquisition, Distribution & Marketing of film and film product will be held at the Wyndham Miami Beach Resort from 10A to 11:30A. Registration begins at 9:45A.

These execs are John Hadity, Executive VP, Miramax Films; Stuart Manashil (invited), United Talent Agency, Kelly DeVine, IFC TV and Chris Philip, NBC Universal Entertainment. They are in town for the Incubator's gala dinner, screening and silent auction that same evening.

In order to educate the local film community as to the business side of the art of filmmaking, the Incubator, a local non-profit organization, presents this seminar as part of the entire Collaboration... process. Filmmakers who've entered the contest as part of a six person team receive free entrance. Otherwise the cost is $25 per person.

How to get a film to market has always been a tricky issue and requires a certain amount of "insider information" and education in the process of getting the work out there. In the past, this seminar has always been a sellout and offers a virtual dictionary of solid quick tips on how to get around this part of the business.

The Incubator has been supporting the local entertainment community for the past seven years, and has included statewide filmmakers for the past three. It was the Founding Executive Director and contest producer, Susan Schein, who first thought to bring in executives from NY and LA to participate in the short film contest process. This helps introduce local talent to the industry VIPs and to help them further their careers.

The seminar will be held at the Wyndham Resort Miami Beach, 4833 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. There is a $25 charge and the seminar is from 10am-11:30am. Registration: 9:45A. To reserve your seat, please call the Incubator at (305) 672-9297.
