Calling all Massachusetts Filmmakers / Techies: 9.25 Panel in Cambridge

Interesting in the future of filmmaking?

On Sept. 25th, I'm moderating a panel in Cambridge, Mass. that'll touch on what's next for visual effects, editing & post-production, and digital distribution of movies.

This is an evening networking event in the heart of Kendall Square, accessible by T. The goal is to bring together Boston-area filmmakers and techies. We've got folks on the panel from Avid Technology, Brickyard VFX, and EZTakes; legendary VFX artist Jeff Kleiser (he has worked on movies like 'Tron' and ' X Men'); and Katherine Hays, the new CEO at GenArts. There will be clips shown, lots of time for questions, and snacks!

I'm going to open things up by giving a short presentation on the role that Massachusetts companies have played in the evolution of the movie industry.

Best news of all is that there is now a special rate for students and filmmakers: $20. You can register here.

  • Hi Scott,
    Since 3D filmmaking and displays came up a few times at the panel, a thought this was relevant.

    I doubt that 3D displays are the future of mainstream movies (anymore than pop-up books or holographic paintings), but the camera looks pretty neat.

    JVC also released a prosumer 3D Hi8 camera in the early 90s to little interest.
