Update - New Media Film Festival SF-Bay Area, Nov 5 & 6

 Hi Everyone,

New Media Film Festival is pleased to announce its newest program New Media Film Festival-SF Bay Area, Friday, November 5 & Saturday, November 6 at VizCinema/Hotel Kabuki in Japantown, San Francisco.  We're excited to be producing this event.  Find more info at: http://bit.ly/nmffsf923

This event brings together Industry Professionals and Content Creators across Film, TV, Games, Publishing, Mobile, Web and Technology. We’re presenting The Best in New Media - What’s New, What’s Next and honoring stories worth telling. Our premiere event that took place in Los Angeles in June 2010 was a great success and therefore we’re very excited to bring the event to SF Bay Area with an expanded program to embrace its unique blend of technology and creative talent.

Our program includes Short Film, Mobile, Games, Web, iApps, Animation, Socially Responsible Content (SRC), Technology Platforms, and New Film Technologies. Screenings include Sundance, Cannes, Los Angeles and World Premieres as well as the best local SF Bay Area talent working in New Media. Panel discussions and demos will highlight topics on New Technology, Financing & Monetization, the Convergence of Media and where Traditional Media meets New Media. Programming is already underway
with a variety of industry professionals, thought leaders and creators representing today's leading companies in Entertainment, Media and Technology.

Currently, we are reaching out to sponsors and accepting speaker and content submissions. This event is made possible by the support of members of our community. We appreciate your interest to see how participating in this event can best serve your needs and further your agenda in this cross-media space.  We have a wide reach and a first class production team putting this event together. As a participating company or organization we look forward to discussing how we can maximize your involvement. What you’ll find in the attachment is more detailed information as it relates to:

Last Call for 2010...Screenwriting Career Intensive

Hi Everyone,

I'm sending you a quick last call about
my upcoming intensive...

Spec season is about to start
and we'd love to bring you into
the front lines and give you
and insider's look at the process.
Plus we've added 5 bonus sessions
and help you find the right
representation.

Screenwriting Career Intensive - 8
Session Teleseminar plus 5 bonus
calls with literary agents & managers.
These are reps that our group will
identify as people who they think
would be a good fit to rep them
in the industry.  All are colleagues
and many are friends that we've known
for years.

We start tonight, Tuesday, Sept. 21
at 5:30PM PT.

My job is to inform, inspire and
challenge.  Your job is to participate
contribute and connect.  It's always a
lot of fun and a great way for us to
get to know you and connect
with others in the community.

From gaining and working effectively with
great representation to selling projects,
optioning material, getting writing
assignments, and getting their scripts
produced, working as a producer,
as well as writing and/or directing
and producing their own material our
participants come out of the Screenwriting Career
Intensive with an insider's edge,
greater confidence and an actionable plan.

We cover:
*Success Strategies
*Common Mistakes that Cost Time, Money,
Momentum & Relationships
*Signature Story & Importance of Branding
*Selling Original Material & Writing Assignments
*Working with Industry Professionals
*Getting the Most from Being In or Out of LA
*Marketing Yourself & Your Script
*Deal Making Practices & Pitfalls

Live calls are on September 21, 22 and
October 5, 6, 13, 14, 20 & 21
Lectures - Q&A - PDF Lecture Notes - MP3
- Online Group

This course is dynamic, not linear so it
is not designed so that you have to be
there for all the live calls to get everything
you need and more from the program.

This is my fourth year teaching this
course and it's always a ton of fun for
everyone.

Plus never before offered five bonus
calls with agents & managers.
Price is $297 but I'm offering
a special $125 discount with coupon code:
TW125
Limited enrollment.

Alumni use coupon code ALUM2010

Here are just a few of the
testimonials our company has received
about it:

"Anyone that is looking for a personal
map to navigate through Hollywood should take
Philippa's Screenwriting Career Intensive.
It's not only informative, but also gives
you the knowledge to avoid the common
pitfalls so many writers face. Her passion,
love for writers and her willingness to
answer any question or mystery about how
the Hollywood system works is invaluable.
I felt like I was on the inside
of some secret meeting and Philippa said
to me, 'Follow me, I'll show you the way.'
Simply amazing. Don't pass this one up."
- Scott Fickas, Screenwriter

"It provided me with a great starting
point and helped me to identify all the things
'I didn't know that I didn't know!'
Thanks again for taking the time to share your
experience with us." - Deirdre Woodard, Writer

"Let me publicly thank Philippa for an
eye-opening course and for the wealth of
information she's provided on the Google
Groups site. Over the last few years,
as I've made my way into the business,
I've been quite voracious in absorbing
information from multiple sources, but
I've learned a great deal from Philippa
that I've never heard elsewhere. Within
months of taking her Screenwriting
Career Intensive course, my writer partner
and I secured representation from the respected
management firm Circle of Confusion.
It was our writing that attracted their
attention, but the professional
confidence and insights I learned from
Philippa helped seal the deal." - John Zussman,
Screenwriter

"I appreciate your help and insight and
am excited for our film, Fight Life coming out in a
couple months. If u haven't, check out our website
www.fightlife.tv. Great response and interest
[multiple high end cable buyers] in doing a
distribution deal, among others and I have to
personally thank u for the industry knowledge
from your classes as what I learned is coming in
play in the discussions now in marketing the film.
Bravo to u Philippa!" - Lanser Howard, Filmmaker

Got an Idea for a TV Show? Call Weds 9/15 with Mark & Jeanne Simon

Hi Everyone,

We've got our next Media Brand Workshop
Conversation tomorrow, Wednesday,
September 15th with Mark & Jeanne Simon
of www.sellyourTVconceptnow.com.

Mark & Jeanne Simon are awesome!  If you
are interested in working in TV or
selling your own original ideas
you'll want to be on this call
(or check out the Mp3). Together
they have over 40 years
of experience in producing and
selling TV shows.

Join us Wednesday, September 15th
5:30PM PT / 7:30PM CT / 8:30PM ET

The reason that I am excited to
introduce them to you is that
our management recently signed
one of their clients they'd been
working with this past year.

I've known them for quite some
time as our paths regularly cross
at various industry events and
always heard great things.  Only
recently did I get to experience
the fruits of their labor first
hand -- and wow, was I impressed!

It's not to often that we find
projects that we're super excited
about and clients who are
ready for prime time and all of
its demands.

We weren't surprised to find out
soon after we'd signed them that
they'd had the direction and
insight from Mark & Jeanne Simon
of SellYourTVConceptNow to
get them from a standing start
(complete outsiders with no TV
experience) to this level of
polish and professionalism.

We weren't the only ones who
were excited about them and their
original idea for a TV show that
Fox now has out to showrunners.

If you are interested in selling
an original TV idea I look forward
to having you join us.

Again, Wednesday, September 15th
5:30PM PT / 7:30PM CT / 8:30PM ET

Philippa
