Take The Reigns on Your Dreams: GABPC Can Help!

Not having control over your destiny is not a powerful feeling. When looking for a job you look for a field of work that excites or interests you.  Acting and film is no different.  Actors, directors, writers, and others have allowed themselves to fall victim to the money driven film industry. For those who want the freedom of choice and the luxury of expression, The Georgia Big Picture Conference sponsored by the Atlanta Film Festival grants aspiring members of the film industry an opportunity to control the destiny.

 This conference satisfies the creative and business aspects of this industry.

The Business Track includes seminars entitled, From Here to Hollywood: Industry Networking Basics, Documentary Dialogues, Film Entrepreneurism: A Producers Panel, Breakdown: Budgeting & Production Scheduling, In the Can: Marketing & Promoting Your Completed Project, and Distribution Options and Alternatives.
