SOCIALLY NETWORKED:
THE PLUGGED-IN PRODUCER

Beginning 9:30am Sunday, June 5

Social media outlets are now an essential component of a project's overall production plan. Even if you're a low-budget indie that doesn't have millions for traditional P&A, you can now build a strong target audience through savvy use of social media sites and tools. Whether your project is a traditional feature or television program, or expressly created for digital media, this session gives you the answers: What do producers need to know and do when navigating social media for production, marketing and distribution? What are the best social practices for film, television and online? Most importantly, what methods give producers more control, and what approaches should you avoid?

HOW "THE CLOUD"
WILL TRANSFORM PRODUCTION AS WE KNOW IT

Beginning 9:30am Sunday, June 5

You've heard all the recent hype about new "cloud computing" technologies. The fact is, these new technologies will have a profound impact on the way films and TV shows are produced. So, what is the cloud? How is it poised to transform your production and post-production process? During this session, the producer of Inside the Actors Studio will describe how he completely re-imagined his show's production process by moving it into the cloud, while Scenios CEO Mark Davis will describe how new cloud computing technologies will upend the world of production as we know it. This session features real-time demos and practical tips for how you can gain your next edge as a producer using these powerful new tools.
