LOCAL INDIE FILMMAKER CONFERENCE

Please start contacting every local filmmaker, film actor, film lover, and the like, gather their contact information, and send it mediaco-op@mediaco-op.org as we will organizing Memphis' first annual independent filmmaker conference early next year. The conference will include film screenings, workshops, an open actor audtion where we hope to gather headshots and contact info on every local actor willing to work on films, while actors read/audition in front of a huge panel of directors, we will discuss how to link local production compaines, and have central information points for auditions, premieres, and events. We will update information on this as it forms, but the first step is to gather contact information so that we can register participants, secure workshops topics, and make sure that we have every local filmmaker, actor, patron and the like in attendance for this much needed conference centered around making our film scene stronger, more organized, and visible..to one another, to this city, and beyond.

Info clearinghouse for local filmmakers

I recently created memphis.cool.movies to post information and items of interest for local filmmakers and actors. You'll find audition notices, news items, features on indie moviemaking and links galore. It's in blog format but is mostly a bulletin board. Feel free to send me (jonwsparks (at) gmail.com) any info/links you think would be fitting.

There will be overlap with this blog but check both, cause there's lots going on in the region. And check daily since many audition notices are posted with very little lead time.

Remember, the MeDiA Co-op is very much at the center of the soul of filmmaking. Which leads me to remind you: Contribute to the Co-op.

Help be the glue that sticks us all together

This blog will serve as a voice for all Memphis filmmakers, associates, and the like.
We will use this as a forum for auditions, as a journal/behind the scenes look at film productions, and a "what's what" in the goings on in the Memphis Film Scene. We know that are already several sites, and the like dedicated, but we hope we can help serve as a link between all of them.
