Image Makers

With the go ahead for the amateur film festival affirmed two weeks ago by Bob and the rest of the team at Studio620 I have been moving forward in refining and the marketing this event. The official name of the event is now Image Makers Film Festival. With work, a full load at school and a truckload of personal responsibilities, time has been at a premium and I am always amazed at the end of the day that accomplishments have been made.
To this point, a press release has gone out to all print media and local talk radio shows. My next step was marketing a time consuming enterprise as it entailed calling all possible venues that might have image-makers within their domain. The responses that I have received have been overwhelmingly favorable especially from the media departments at universities from Orlando to Sarasota. I send each contact a flyer/poster, which was artistically done by Coralettte from the studio along with instructions and details of the film feast. I have also placed flyer/ posters in local business through out the city and still need to do so in Tampa, Sarasota, and Bradenton. Hopefully, and very hopefully with these efforts we will have a good amount of creative work to be shown at the festival which has been slated for May 14th at the studio.
I am open to any constructive input from you’ all in marketing direction or any other input directed towards putting this event in front of potential image-makers.
On the social scene, my seventeen year old son who is diligently refining his accomplishments on guitar turned me on to the following bands that you may know ‘Porcupine Tree” They are really good, innovative and fine musicians, they have been out awhile, and I do not know how they got past me. The other band is from Israel called ‘Infected Mushroom’ again really good musicians. Both of these groups can be checked out via U-Tube.
