Education & Entertainment To Take Center Stage...
This year SHOOT has even more to showcase as we are adding to the discussion. The foundation of the evening event remains the same as we will screen work from all the selected up-and-coming directors, and we will hear from several of them as to their backstories and strategies for gaining exposure in the marketplace--along with critiques/observations from industry pros. And as always, the after-party affords attendees the opportunity to meet many of the new directors first hand.Exciting New Elements Added for 2010... Beyond discovering and getting to meet new talent, we will look into other dynamics via the new daytime event called The SHOOT Directors Symposium.
