Turning Hits/Friends into Paying Customers
Nov 16th, 6-7:30 pm
Congratulations, you have 1200 friends on Facebook! But how many people have actually paid to see you perform, bought or downloaded an album or purchased merch to help keep the business end of your creative vision moving forward? The “Turning Hits/Friends into Paying Customers” panel will discuss this very topic in depth, shed some light on some interesting initiatives and teach how to capitalize on your captive audience. Kathryn Hummel and Michael Gorman will be sitting as panelists on this panel. Kathryn, President of Hummel Entertainment has extensive knowledge and expertise in the music industry encompassing promotions, event planning while giving priority to artist development. Her professional relationships extend beyond borders and include international festival buyers (US, UK, France, Australia, China), music executives at labels, publishing, and distribution companies, as well as point people at graphics houses, booking agencies, radio tracking sectors, and public relations facilities. Since early 2008, Michael has been working at Pandyamonium Management guiding the careers of Juno Award winners Jully Black and Serena Ryder.
I Have a Short. Now What?
Nov 16th, 7:45-9:15 pm
Have you been slaving on a short film for months and are now wondering what the next step is? How do you distribute a short film? Is it worth applying to all the short Film Festivals? The “I Have a Short. Now What?” panel will discuss all these questions. The panelists will discuss the best strategies to get your film seen or picked up by a distributor and potentially become a calling card film for your future projects. Adam Trozzolo and Brad Horvath will be your panelists for this panel. Brad Horvath manages international film acquisitions for Ouat Media. Before joining the team, he directed and produced short and contemporary dance films, music videos and documentaries that have been licensed to television broadcasters and invited to screen at film festivals around the world. He has also produced a television series and associate produced two feature films. Adam is the Manager of Programming for Movieola — the Short Film Channel, involving himself in all aspects of maintaining high-quality content for the channel. He is also the Producer for the channel’s Live segments (which air 7 days a week), and handles all of the channel’s acquisitions.
The sessions, FREE for MFM and N2M2L members and $5 for non-members, will be taking place at the Opera Bakery Café, located at 1428 O’Brien Street in North Bay.

DUANE LINKLATER: JOURNEY THROUGH
White Water Gallery – 143 Main Street W, North Bay ON
October 21st – November 5th, 2011
Reception: October 21st @ 7pm
Largely dismissed by critics and fans alike, Neil Young’s first film, Journey Through the Past (1972) remains a curious document for the prolific and influential Young. Under the guidance of Duane Linklater, Young’s film will be broken into individual scenes and distributed to invited participants. After experimentation with each individual section has been completed, a final composition of the entire “film” will be screened.
