This Tuesday, October 27, from 6:15 p.m. - 7:45 p.m., I'll be moderating a panel at DCTV called Low Cost / No Cost and The City: an evening of films, discussion and ideas, sponsored by the New York Film / Video Council, one of the monthly programs organized by their volunteer board of directors. These events are staged specifically for professionals in the New York media community to share information and support one another's work. Anyone can join the NYFVC for $40 per year, as an individual, and $85 per year for an organization. A student membership costs $20. If you're not yet a member, and Tuesday will be the first time you're attending a program, admission is free.
With a diverse and interesting panel of media makers, we'll be talking about how filmmakers can approach a new world of low cost and no cost film production and still churn out strong and challenging work. WNET Thirteen and Public Broadcasting representatives will speak to the possibility of how the public channel can offer new opportunities to independent narrative and documentary film and video makers. Samples of work will be shown.
Participants include Christopher Allen, founder and director of UnionDocs, independent producer and new head of programming at UnionDocs, Steve Holmgren, Rich Siegmeister and Bob Morris of WNET Channel 13, and Keith Boynton and Mike Lavoie of 12films12weeks. DCTV is at 87 Lafayette Street, two blocks below Canal in Tribeca. Reception will follow. You can RSVP at 212-330-0450. Hope you'll join us.
