Presented by IMAGE Film And Video Center and DAEL

If you want to cash in on the $8 billion independent film market, come to this workshop with Louise Levison, author of Filmmakers and Financing: Business Plans for Independents. Taking the mystique out of film financing for both filmmakers and investors, she’ll clarify, demystify and streamline the business plan process.  In the process, you will understand the business of the industry, markets and distribution; how the money flows and how to develop financial projections.

Digital Arts Entertainment Lab (DAEL) recently produced and recorded a high definition multi-camera television pilot in conjunction with Atlanta record producer Dallas Austin. The show was recorded in DAEL's Blue Screen Studio at Georgia State University using all DAEL staff and graduate students.

The project, called "Crank Dat", is a HipHop dance show intended to showcase Atlanta's unique style of music and culture. Special guests included Big Boi from Outkast, Chili of TLC and Big Gipp from the Goodie Mob. Many other up and coming dance artists performed as well (beef this area up some). Director of DAEL, Dr. Kay Beck is named executive producer on the show which will be presented to MTV and other major networks to be optioned.
