AAFL WKSHP 24OCT2006: AAFilmLab Actor Series Pt II: The Acting Manager

Posted: Thursday, October 19, 2006

AAFL_20061024

We are proud to present our third workshop of this year. Many thanks to our Directors, Natalie Kim, Son Tran and Matte Chi and our adventurous Actors who participated in our script reading last month. We would like our monthly meetings to be a place where actors, writers, directors, and others can come to re-connect with the rest of the world. Too often we are in our own bubble and it's only through collaboration can anything be accomplished, especially for film and theater.

Our next meeting will be a doozie. For the first hour we will focus on Acting Managers. Makalina Abalos from Jadin Wong Talent Management will be joining us. This will be a great opportunity to get to know their group and for them to get to know you if you are not represented or are looking to change managers. For the second hour we will hang out and network as we have done in the past, but this time will will be announcing the new AAFL management team and give you an opportunity to get to know us and vice versa.

We will have a suggested donation of $5.00/person to help us with administrative costs for this workshop. Thanks for your support!

Industry Spotlight: Dana Krieger on “Navigating the World of Film Festivals, from Production to Making the Most of It.” Thurs., Feb. 16th, 7-9PM

Dana Krieger has a passion for the arts community, and has an extensive background in producing and creating large scale, high profile events for both the nonprofit and for-profit communities.

Dana did her undergraduate studies at Georgetown University and earned a Masters in Public Administration from Columbia University

She will be discussing the ins-and-outs of putting together a film festival, and also, for filmmakers, how to navigate film festivals, with behind-the-scenes nuts-and-bolts of how they work - the inside track; why go, what to do when you get there, how to network, and what parties to go to, to maximize the efficiency and enjoyment of the experience.
