I also met with several of the people at WDEM a couple weeks ago. There are
more details to be presented at the upcoming JULY 20th IndieClub meeting
where a few of the people working for Channel 17 will be engaging us in
their plans. A couple people in the community have also been picked out to
work with the station on some other shows as well. The host of the Columbus
Film Factory show is supposed to be Christina Grozik (unless something has
changed).

I highly encourage people to come out to the next meeting to get the full
scoop on what these guys are looking for and what they are willing to do for
us.

I also have flyers and business cards for folks to take with them as well
I'm sure Debbie Smith and whomever she brings with her will have as well.

Subject: [ColumbusMovieClub] Re: CHANNEL 17 COLUMBUS FILM FACTORY show





WDEM is producing a TV series called COLUMBUS FILM FACTORY that will show
features and short films from Ohio filmmakers.

CHANNEL 17 switched from being a Home Shopping Network to more of a local
arts channel. The channel is filling a void of local arts and local
interests since no other network in the city is doing anything like that, so
I'm 100% behind that. They are not scheduled to be added to the cable
lineups, but with more original shows and high end content will increase
this likelihood and make it happen sooner. Shadowbox has already added their
show to their programming, and CD101's FRONT STAGE is already their most
popular show airing now. This is a chance to get your work seen to a very
wide audience with the new digital standards and the quality of the
presentation, it looks like a very mutually beneficial situation for
filmmakers.

I met with Jason Perkins at WDEM Channel 17 today and got a lot more detail
on their show idea called COLUMBUS FILM FACTORY. It's going to be a weekly
90 minute or 120 minute show. Some weeks it will be a feature film from an
Ohio filmmaker, other weeks with will be a compilation of shorts, or a
feature with a very short short or two with it. Columbus Film Factory is
going to have a female host affiliated with the Ohio Film Bureau and it's
looking likely to start airing at the end of August or early September 2009.


Any short over 10 minutes WILL have commercial breaks added to them at their
discretion as to when or where.

Anything with questionable content (IE language or nudity, etc.) will be
first up to you to try to censor it as a submission, but it will have to be
approved or possibly altered for broadcast to FCC standards by the station
too.

Not every movie submitted will be selected. The station will determine which
movies will get played.

Release/Submission Forms are forthcoming in a PDF file tomorrow or Monday,
but feel free to submit now for consideration. Submit your shorts on Mini DV
in SP more, and features too, broken up on 2 tapes also SP mode (no LP mode)
to :

WDEM
Attn: Jason
1025 W. 3rd Ave
Columbus Ohio 43212

Remember to have at least :30 seconds of black at the head of the tape
before your movies and at least :10 seconds of black between movies.

They've asked me to intro them to the group and would like to use IndieClub
as a sort of hub for some of their upcoming projects.
