Pulling Focus: A Clear Picture of Today's Film Industry

CROSS-CUTTING
They say, if ain't broke, don't fix it. Problem is, a combination of technology, the economy and the great audience diaspora has shattered everything we thought we knew about modern media. So, it's time to bust out the SuperGlue, don our thinking caps and get busy because "old school" is out for good. But before we can rewrite a business plan for the industry, we need to closely examine our former failures and embrace our revised goals. What constitutes success and how do we best achieve it in the biz? Is there a greater good than the bottom line? How do we profit in today's era of tipping points and long tails?

Pulling Focus is a series of three panels about the business of film designed to speak to the diversity of audience members, from screenwriters to actors, from directors to producers and on to musicians. Moderated by the colorful and charismatic Warren Etheredge from The Warren Report, the goal is to elevate the conversation and design a dialogue that will have a little something for everyone and simultaneously help to give our community a rock-solid education about how business is done in the film industry. Following each panel discussion, the community is invited to continue the conversation at a cocktail reception with wine hosted by the Washington Wine Commission.
