Looking for a film project with a budget for original music?

Monday, March 25 you will get answers to the above at this special networking event. This event, produced by the San Diego Filmmakers, will give filmmakers and composers an opportunity to network and make the connections that may benefit members of both groups.

There will be performances and demonstrations by: Tokeli, Berkley Hart, Gregory Page, Robin Henkel,
Pi Jacobs,  and Sven-Erik Seaholm.

Other featured composers will have an opportunity address the attendees.
Featured filmmakers will have an opportunity to let the composers know about their projects that need original music.

NOTE: Featured filmmakers and composers will have 2 to 5 min. to speak to the group from the stage. If you have an interest in being added to the list of featured composers or filmmakers, please send your website link to Mitch Feingold at:  Mitch@MFpresents.com

If you are a filmmaker, make sure you catch John W. Cones at his next seminar. He presented a lot of important material on financing an independent film project. Hopefully San Diego Filmmakers will get him back again next year to present another seminar. You might want to read his books on this subject. Take a look at books by John W. Cones as a resource for your project.

Thanks again John for an outstanding presentation. Thanks to Martin Banks for hosting the event at Video Gear.

They asked the San Diego Filmmakers for help, and our organization did in a BIG way! Most of the footage of the Festival and all the sound for the panel discussions was done by San Diego Filmmakers. A special thanks to Bill Bork, Len Savage, Gregg Styles and Bob Unger for their excellent videography, and Kim Stolkowski for her work as sound tech.  I mentioned by name those with whom I worked.  I know that there were many volunteers who helped make this event possible. Thanks to ALL who volunteered.

Thank you Dale Strack and Tonya Mantooth for taking on the enormous responsibility of producing this year's San Diego Film Festival.
