Urban Media Festival - "Monetize Your Media"

The 2010 Urban Media Festival is a festival like no other. This years event is a mix of seminars, workshops, screenings, and power networking.

The line up is incredible:

Jamaa Fanaka Director of the Penitentiary Film Series

Maxie D. Collier Author of The iFilm Digital Video Filmmakers Handbook, one of the first books on digital filmmaking

Anthony Artis Author of Shut Up And Shoot Documentary Guide The #1 Book on Amazon.com for Directing &Producing;, and Amateur Production

Cliff McBean Director of The DJ Screw Documentary

The primary focus of the Urban Media Festival is how to Monetize Your Media

Over the past few years the barriers to entry into media production have not just been lowered, they have almost been buried. Cameras, computers and editing systems are becoming faster, cheaper, and more intuitive. It is happening faster than the industry can write standards. Although there is a lot of confusion in the field now, there is also great opportunity.

The opportunities stem from sound production skills, continuous study, market research and marketing. Having access to equipment is the beginning. In fact owning a camera does not make you a media maker just as owning a hammer does not make you a carpenter. We have brought a group together will help decode the current market by analyzing the past and forecasting the future of the media business.
