A
Note From The Producers:
Hello Everyone!
Well, let's wrap up 2011
with some thoughts and views. First of all, WOW!!!
Everyone and everything seemed to be "off the hook" this
year. The talent went up, the showcases went up...the good
times went up. It was GREAT! I've received dozens of
great comments, emails and phone calls about this year. It was
truly the BEST ever! I want to thank all of the attendees, new
and veterans. It seems like the term "newbie" has
been embraced. Over the years, it's been understood that
newbies were just that. Usually new to the business. But
not anymore! Our newbies this year brought GAME! So
thanks for that.
The production staff were on
their toes. Everything went as planned for the most part.
The showcases ran very smoothly and the agents/buyers noted that it
was very enjoyable and the bar was raised quite a bit.
The "Cocktails and
Monorails" started off the convention with a bang!
Literally. Jackie and I expected about 30-40 early attendees to
take part.....but it was OVER 80! We had 76 on the bus and
several met us at The Polynesian! Holy cow!
Thursday's seminars were
full of information about bookings, talent agents, intellectual
properties, internet bullying, marketing and more. That night,
the press party was great! If you were in the lobby, you were
overwhelmed with "starz" from every genre! Later, the
party continued upstairs with dancing, karaoke, games, and lots of socializing.
AND...we can't wait to see
what the guys from Blue Collar Films will come up with about our
industry and the convention. It was great and we believe every
single participant will end up in the film one way or another.
The awards banquet was the
best ever. Congratulations to all of the winners and the Hall
of Fame inductees. That page will be coming up this week!
So, now on to next
year. The date is set and we'll have a few more surprises.
We are expecting a record number of attendees, but we'll have to be
more selective in our showcases. The earlier you register, the
better chances of getting in the showcase. We have limited the
showcases to 90 spots like this past year. We had over 100
attendees to register. But we always have a "no
showcase" ticket if you want to participate, but not showcase.
More to come...
Check back for an update.
All the best,
Greg M & Jackie

"If you meet only one new agent or get
only one booking from this event, you have earned your money
back. The rest (other agents you meet and the other bookings
you get from this convention, plus the great time) is all gravy."
