<br />
BigPictureCon founder and producer <b>Nancy Howard</b> said the primary goal for the 2014 conference was to increase attendance and awareness of the event, which began in 2005 and repeated in 2007, 2009 and 2013. “We lost a bit of momentum doing the conference sporadically like we had to in the past,’ Howard shared. But the work she and the other conference organizers did to get into an annual routine certainly succeeded, increasing attendance by 19 percent over the last conference to well over 200 participants.<br />
<br />
“This year’s conference was outstanding,” she said. “We had fantastic speakers.”<br />
<br />
Serving as the closing keynote speaker was <b>Michael Donaldson</b>, an independent film and entertainment attorney from Donaldson+Calif Law Firm in Los Angeles. He shared best practices on fair use of intellectual property and other legal advice for emerging filmmakers and content creators. Opening keynotes <b>Numa Perrier</b> and <b>Dennis Dortch</b>, co-creators of the web network Black&SexyTV, spoke about their experiences and insights on how to maneuver the Hollywood and independent film festival system to help anyone seeking to develop creative content.<br />

<br />
As always, the hands-on workshops were the most popular activities. The panel on sound design by audio engineer <b>Joe Howell</b> was well-received, as was the mobile digital camera workshop headed by <b>Amani Channel</b>. A surprise hit was the legal panel featuring Donaldson, attorney <b>Keisha Perry</b> and Georgia Lawyers for the Arts representative <b>David Mayer</b>.<br />
<br />
The conference this year took place at Clayton State University. Howard said Clayton State’s Conference Center had everything the BigPictureCon needed as far as space, support and services. Howard in particular credited FilmClayton, the county’s film office, with helping everything work out.<br />
<br />
“The services that the Clayton County Film Office makes available to up and coming filmmakers and the locations and industry knowledge and activity they have there makes them an excellent resource,” she said. “It was a great partnership so we’d be honored to come and bring our 10th anniversary conference back there in 2015!”<br />

“What’s important for our office is to help promote jobs and training in the industry,” said FilmClayton Director <b>Grant Wainscott</b>. The goal is to create a qualified workforce to bring filmmaking to Clayton. Having the conference at Clayton State University, where film training is already taking place, is a natural fit, since it allows the film office to promote CSU programs to the BigPictureCon audience. FilmClayton thought it was so important to promote the conference that it provided a $2,000 sponsorship.<br />
<br />
Wainscott also spoke on the first day of the conference, welcoming participants to Clayton County and explaining what kind of services the county and CSU could provide. Although Wainscott had to leave later that day, he said a coworker who stayed for the conference reported it went well. He definitely hopes the conference will return to Clayton.<br />
<br />
“We’d love to see attendance grow and grow every year and we’d love to see how we can help with that,” he said.<br />
<br />
"The Big Picture Con was a life-changing experience for many of the attendees who came from as far away as St. Louis and Tampa to be part of this event,” said Clayton film instructor <b>Jonathan Harris</b>, who assisted in arranging to bring the event to CSU, and also taught the editing workshop, one of the highest-rated sessions at the conference. “Face to face with industry professionals, they learned real-world and hands-on skills they will need to succeed in this industry. More importantly, they were inspired to create by the other media makers in attendance.” He said his students were energized by the conference and are writing new films and collaborating with each other as a result of their participation.<br />

<b>Linda Sayseng</b>, one of Harris’ students, volunteered at the conference. She organized the prize giveaways for some of the sessions and workshops, prepared name badges, and served as a session monitor.<br />
<br />
“I enjoyed the panels and workshops offered,” she said. “I believe the editing workshop was a great benefit.” She said she learned wonderful ideas about how to engage her audience through film and about networking. She also liked how the panelists were willing to engage in one-on-one networking with participants.<br />
<br />
The next conference will take place Oct. 18-19, 2015, and will be the 10th anniversary of the BigPictureCon. Some very special programs and features are being planned – so stay tuned!<br />

<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">ATLANTA, Ga. — The 2014 Georgia BigPictureCon Short Film Festival will feature is Boy in the Box, an award-winning short directed by local filmmaking team the <a href="http://www.twiinmedia.com/">Bontrager brothers - DeWayne and LaWayne</a>.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">DeWayne Bontrager said the film, which is about a boy put in a coma after being hit by a texting driver and his journey into recovery, was inspired by seeing an oversized grocery cart.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">“I saw it one day at our client’s warehouse and said, “How can we use that in a movie?” he said. This led to the idea of a boy making a box and entering an imaginary world much like children do. The title is a play on the term a “Jack in the Box” — the protagonist is named Jack and when he pops out of the box, it resembles a Jack in the box.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">Cast as Jack is Royce Mann, an award-winning child prodigy. The Bontrangers met the Mann family at a local meet and greet event and recognized Royce’s potential immediately.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">“We knew instantly he was the boy we were waiting for to play the part of Jack,” he said. “Royce was 9 and going on 13 – we knew that this boy would understand direction.”</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">According to a Q&A on the popular movie website IMDb, the film was shot in the metro Atlanta area. Locations included Fired and Wired in the Virginia Highlands area, whose owners allowed them to shoot there until 11 p.m., as well as the Atlanta Aesthetic Surgery Center. The film won “Best Actor” and “Best Special Effects” in the 2012 48-Hour Film Project.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">Bontrager thanks all the friends and family who helped make the film possible. The doctor who delivered LaWayne’s daughter found the Atlanta Aesthetic Surgery Center for them and helped build the sets. They borrowed the extra-large shopping cart from their client and the scenes inside the box were shot with the help of Atlanta Feed the Hungry and Ashwood Development. A traffic cone was borrowed from Costco.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">Bontranger said Boy in a Box is an inspiring film, shedding light on the rapidly growing issue of texting while driving and overall phone distractions drivers allow in their vehicles. The film could be a PSA on the dangers of texting and driving.</span><br />
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: dimgrey; font-family: inherit;">“We hope that all viewers will question the next time they reach for their phone while driving to text someone,” he said. </span>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04691270309993277160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109048859982569426.post-17204326273277882092014-09-29T11:30:00.001-07:002014-09-29T12:47:15.169-07:00Check Out the 2014 BigPictureCon's Short Films!MORROW, Ga.--The final selections have been made for the 2014 Georgia BigPictureCon Short Film Festival.

"We're thrilled to have the support of the Clayton County Film Office for the 2014 BigPictureCon!" said Nancy Howard, founder and organizer of the conference. "From the first time they heard about our event, they have been excited and most supportive." <br />
<br />
The BigPictureCon takes place on Sunday & Monday, October 5-6 at Clayton State University. The BigPictureCon is a 2-day summit that provides opportunities for student and emerging filmmakers and industry technology professionals to connect with one another and participate in a variety of educational sessions on topics like filmmaking, production technology, and web entertainment.<br />
<br />
Clayton County Office of Economic Development Director Grant Wainscott will provide opening remarks for the conference on Sunday, Oct. 5th. Howard said she hopes there will be a great turnout to receive him.<br />
<br />
FilmClayton Assistant Director of Production Tamara Patridge said the county is glad to help the BigPictureCon.<br />
<br />
"We have been searching for the right opportunity to support a conference of this type in our county that will help our community members become a part of the booming film industry in Georgia," she said.<br />
<br />
Patridge offered the conference a warm welcome to Clayton County.<br />
<br />
This year BigPictureCon attendees will experience two (2) days of educational sessions including panel discussions and seminars focusing on trends and enhancements in technology for gaming, web entertainment and film production. Featured conference sessions include digital content creation for mobile devices; as well as screenwriting, distribution, marketing, networking, panel discussions with award-winning local and nationally-known industry professionals; and many, many more! <br />

</div>
<br />
ATLANTA, Ga.--The GeorgiaBigPictureCon's short film festival has received its first international entries, something Founder and Executive Producer Nancy Howard attributes to the conference's adoption of FilmFreeway.<br />
<br />
"I was pleased but not very surprised to see that we had so many entries from the U.S.," said Howard. "But I was very pleasantly surprised that for the first time we also had entries from Canada, Germany, France, and the UK, as well as from places like Spain, Brazil, Turkey, Italy, Kenya, and Finland."<br />
<br />
So far, the BigPictureCon has received over 40 submissions, with 15 of them coming from different countries around the world.<br />
<br />
In previous years, the conference has accepted submissions manually or via online links.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
"We've considered using Withoutabox.com," said Howard, "but it was expensive, particularly for small festivals like ours."<br />
<br />
Withoutabox (WAB), one of FilmFreeway's primary competitors, is a popular online system created to streamline the submission process of filmmakers and film festivals. It has been well-received <a href="http://www.independent-magazine.org/08/11/or-withoutabox/">by the majority of its users, but others have expressed concerns about rising prices and declining customer support</a>, as well as, for a time, <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/why-withoutabox-has-400-000-indie-filmmakers-1-000-film-festivals-and-increasingly-angry-customers">an insistence on exclusivity</a>.<br />
<br />
After learning about the controversies with WAB, and the fact that FilmFreeway was free, Howard and the other conference organizers chose FilmFreeway.<br />
<br />
"We are loving FilmFreeway," Howard said. "They have been upfront, easy to use, and fair thus far in our experience with them. It's been very exciting."<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ATLANTA, Ga. — The Oct. 13-14 Georgia BigPictureCon Film and
Technology Conference has gotten a lot of people excited, including keynote
speaker filmmaker Cory Edwards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In an
interview with Atlanta Christian radio station 104.7 The Fish, Edwards, the
creator of the hit animated film <i>Hoodwinked</i>,
said the conference is a sign of Atlanta’s growing film industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“What’s
so great about this conference is that the city of Atlanta is becoming such a
player in entertainment,” he said. “You don’t have to be in NY or LA to make a
movie.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Edwards
said he loves traveling to other cities to make movies because New York and Los
Angeles are very condensed, tough cities to work in where everybody is trying
to do what you’re already doing. He said it was very refreshing to come to
Atlanta and see how it’s growing exponentially.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I’ll
be honest, I’m new to Atlanta, I don’t know a lot about Atlanta, and this
weekend has been my introduction,” he said. “It’s been really exciting to see
the studios that are going up and the work that’s being done. I’ve met a lot of
people that are just starting their careers and there’s a lot of excitement.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Founder
and producer Nancy Howard said this was the fourth Georgia Big Picture
Conference, with previous conferences taking place in 2005, 2007, and 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It’s
tough trying to make a comeback after four years away, but clearly the
enthusiasm and positive feedback that we got from the attendees and speakers
has been a good driver that we should continue this,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Attendees
said the event was very well-organized and professional. The speakers were very
well-received and provided a lot of good information. Highlights of the event
included the opening keynote session Sunday where Edwards and comics stalwart
Paul Jenkins, who has worked with both Marvel and DC Comics, were both keynote
speakers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“We
had many more people than we anticipated,” Howard said. “We estimated over 100
people were there early on a Sunday morning.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jenkins
spoke about the plans he’s made with Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal to bring more
film and post production companies to work in Georgia. Edwards gave event
guests a charge to take advantage of the opportunity to network and strategize
for their developing careers. He also encouraged them to produce—even if
they’re not sure what they need to do or don’t have all their ducks in a row,
at least start “making stuff.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Another
highlight for Howard was the overall slate of speakers. “Building our speaker list is one of my
favorite parts of the conference,” she shared. “We had over 40 speakers – a
great group, diverse in who they were, the expertise they brought, and their
methods of teaching, but all of them were unified in their love of film, and a
shared commitment to the growth of the Georgia film industry. We even had two sets of twin filmmakers –
DeWayne and Wayne Bontrager of Twiin Media, and Matthew and Jared Young of
Brothers Young Productions. Now how
often do you find a phenomenon like that?”

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Howard
plans for the next conference to be in April. One of the conference’s target
demographics is students, so moving it closer to the end of the school year
gives conference organizers more of the school year to promote and prepare.
Future conferences will feature a revamped logo and a new name—the Georgia
BigPictureCon, bringing the event in line with more modern conference naming,
like DragonCon or MediaCon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I
think the conference was a great success,” said Big Picture Film & Video
Foundation CFO and Conference Director Joe Howell. “We met our expectations and
even exceeded them.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The
conference guests gave great feedback. People thought it very informative and
wished they’d known about it earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Howell
thought Jenkins’ speech was one of the highlights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“He
was an excellent speaker and really advanced some of the areas that relate to
filmmaking in Georgia,” Howell said.<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:NBHoward" datetime="2013-10-25T16:21"><o:p></o:p></del></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He
can’t wait for next year, in which he hopes the conference will be bigger and
better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of
the volunteers who helped make the conference possible was Roshawn Redwine, who
learned about the conference through her friend and fellow volunteer, Victoria
Porter. What she enjoyed most about the conference was the diversity of topics
and speakers.<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:NBHoward" datetime="2013-10-25T16:21"><o:p></o:p></del></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“It is
a great way to gain so much industry knowledge as well as have an opportunity
to network with so many great industry professionals,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What
differentiates the GABPC from the other film events she’s attended is how
accessible and hands-on the leadership was and how so many of the topics were
fresh, relevant, and unique. She’s glad to have had the opportunity to
participate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ATLANTA, Ga.--Director of the animated film <i>Hoodwinked </i>Cory Edwards will be the keynote speaker for the 2013 <a href="http://www.bigpicturecon.com/">Georgia BigPictureCon</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Though Hoodwinked was his feature film debut, Edwards had a long
career as a filmmaker touching on almost every creative area of the business.
As a child using a "Super 8" camera, Edwards shot everything from
superhero comedies to adventure serials, complete with storyboards, miniatures,
animation, and pyrotechnics. Every class project from grade school to college,
Edwards would make a film or video project, sometimes winning national
contests. He interned at an animation studio in Ohio while in college and after
graduation, directed music videos and commercials for a Tulsa production
company. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After founding Blue Yonder Films in 1995 and acting in his
brother's feature debut <i>Chillicothe</i>, Cory and his brother Todd pitched a Red
Riding Hood crime story to a private investor. And so <i>Hoodwinked</i>, made
totally outside of the studio system for a tenth the cost, was born. To make
the film, Edwards worked with Glenn Close, Anne Hathaway, Chazz Palminteri, and
Jim Belushi. He voiced the coffee-addicted squirrel "Twitchy" himself
and wrote two songs for the soundtrack. Produced by moguls Bob and Harvey
Weinstein, the film has since grossed over $150 million worldwide.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since then Edwards, a resident of Los Angeles, has co-written <i>Hoodwinked
Too: Hood vs. Evil</i> as well as created <i>Roger Cosmonkey</i>, the world's first
Twitter series.</span></div>
