***3. ARTICLES AND THINGS YOU NEED TO READ AND DO
Join Debbie Zipp and Molly Cheek and me for another FREE Moviola Filmmaking webinar, Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 11:30AM PST.
"Road Signs to a Real Acting Career.”
There is more to an acting career than talent, technique, connections and stardom. Seasoned professional actors, Molly Cheek and Debbie Zipp, provide the kind of mentoring perspective they wish they’d had starting out.
Even if you are not interested in acting as a career, this webinar is also about navigating the Entertainment Industry. All Freelancers will benefit. Register.

Film editing is one of the subtlest of cinema crafts; if you notice it, it’s probably not working. Oscar winning editors William Goldenberg, Joel Cox and Gary Roach explain good editing, bad editing, and how the film editor controls the audience’s mind.

***4. ANNOUNCING THE 14TH ANNUAL LAS VEGAS SUPERMEET.
Going to NAB SHOW in April? Well then, of course you want to go to the SuperMeet. And have we got a Super SuperMeet for you.
This year we will be holding it once again at the Riviera Hotel inside the lovely Royale Ballroom on Tuesday, April 14 2015. Which means you can WALK to the SuperMeet from the LVCC. No shuttles, no taxis, just your feet. It’s about a 10 minute walk sober.
Earlybird tickets will go on sale February 10 at 9AM PST for the low price of $10.00 each plus ticket fee. This deal ends Wednesday, March 11 where the price will go up to $15.00. It will be $20.00 at the door assuming any tickets are still available.
The agenda is SuperSecret, but SuperMeets are not about what and who is on stage. They are about you. This is the biggest event of the year for digital content creators and you will meet people from all over the world. And once again I say, you just might meet that one person who will change your life. But you got to get out of the house in order to do it.
Remember to mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 14 and get your tickets now as it helps us plan.
Also spread the word. We have no marketing budget and rely on each other to get the word out.
See you at the SuperMeet on April 14. It is going to be so much fun!
