"SpeedCollab" Networking Event for Actors, Filmmakers and Writers

Kickoff 2014 by attending "SpeedCollab" -- the new way of networking for actors, filmmakers and writers.

Presented by the Urban Mediamakers Association and Film Festival, we're taking networking to another level. Not just your regular networking event, SpeedCollab is connecting you based on who you want to meet to start collaborations. Perhaps you want to connect with: 

  • a writer for an idea for a film, TV/Web series;
  • a filmmaker or producer to turn your book or script into a project;
  • actors for your upcoming project;music composers with royalty-free music for your project;
  • production crew members including directors, director's of photography, fashion designers, makeup stylists, set designers, production coordinators, etc.

The Agenda...

  • Introductions, networking, music, complimentary wine
  • A UMFF Short Film Showcase featuring award-winning projects from the 12th Urban Mediamakers Film Festival 2013.
  • Guest speakers including Producer Representative Paige Ostrow
  • Part I - Crowdfunding Your Next Project
