If you can get to New York, you'll definitely want to join this one
amazing, information-packed day on March 12th. Even if you can't make
it, do your friends a solid and tell them about this session taught by
DGA director, Norman C. Berns.

The entire day is packed with vital information about the business end
of show business. Scheduling scripts, budgeting projects, building a
cash flow analysis, creating business plans, developing a legal PPM
and even how to pitch successfully.

Serious about making a living making films...? These are the details
you have to know.

***** 1. Eight full hours, exploring everything from a script
breakdown to pitching the project.

***** 2. The entire session is live and completely open to questions
and answers.

***** 3. Free morning coffee and a box lunch, too.

***** 4. Everyone who signs up will get great software. Free. No
demos - this is the real stuff.

***** 5. We'll raffle off a thousand dollars worth of major
production software. The more people, the more free software we can
raffle.

The entire day costs 99 bucks, all in. (Including a full PDF of the
class plus extra support materials.) I plan to repeat this class, but
the price will never be as low as this promotion; the giveaways will
never be as rich.

Go to http://www.eventbrite.com/event/290942216 for more information.
And if you can, but sure to sign up for March 12th in New York.

Best,
Norman

EuroAsia Shorts: Short Films from Europe, Asia and the United States
showcases short films from various countries, comparing them according
to different themes.

The festival committee invites filmmakers from China, India, Japan,
Korea, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the United States to submit
short films for consideration in our Washington, DC-based Showcase
June 1 - 6, 2009.

The film, director or writers from one of the organizing nations
- Europe: France, Italy, Spain, Germany
- Asia: Japan, Korea, India, China
- North America: USA

The film must fit one of the themes
- Generations/Getting Older
- Cities/Urban Environment
- Humor
- Fears and Phobias
- Beauty

The films serve as a springboard to discussion of the themes and how
they are addressed in different countries, particularly through the
medium of film. Each evening will focus on comparing Asian, European
and US cultures in regards to particular themes. The nightly hour and
a half screening at an Embassy or Cultural Center will be followed by
discussion of the films and the topics with several panelists.

For more information, and the submission form, visit
http://euroasiashorts.com

EuroAsia Shorts 2009 is presented by the Embassy of India, the
Alliance Française, the Embassy of Korea's KORUS House, the Japan
Information and Culture Center, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the
Chinatown Community Cultural Center, the Embassy of Spain, the
Goethe-Institut and Reel Plan.

Please feel free to pass this information on to any filmmakers you know.

Submissions are now open for the 2009 edition of the famed DC Shorts
Film Festival! Visit the updated web site at http://dcshorts.com

DC Shorts turns the spotlight on truly independent short films,
created by new and established filmmakers in an era when the art of
filmmaking is opening to all. We select films from every genre for our
competition screenings -- with a special focus on films created by
metropolitan Washington, DC-based directors and writers. After each
screening, filmmakers have the opportunity to speak to the audience as
part of a moderated panel.

In 2008, DC Shorts reviewed more than 750 entries from around the
globe. We selected 103 short films for screenings at 8 showcases
during the competition weekend of September 11-14, 2008, with each
show featuring an average of ten short films. Since a major focus of
the event is the inclusion of filmmakers, many of the films were
represented by the more than 108 filmmakers in attendance from 8
countries. More than 2,600 people attended the screenings.

DC Shorts gives ALL ENTIRES feedback from the judges -- a point which
impressed MovieMaker Magazine to name us as "one of 20 festivals worth
an entry fee," AND as "one of the leading film festivals" in the country.

THE EARLYBIRD DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 15, 2009.  Submission fees go up
after that date -- so enter now and save!

For those looking for the Screenwriting Competition -- please be
patient as we are reworking this event to include more finalists, more
seminars, and dedicate an entire weekend to scripts -- alone!

Please visit http://dcshorts.com for more information.

Hey guys,

Dear Filmmakers,

Norman C. Berns' free (well, almost) one-hour online class will be
repeated. The webinar covers film prep, writing business plans and
finding film funding and it takes place next Saturday, December 6th at
11am PST, 2PM ET.

The class is all done online (you'll need an internet connection). The
information is free - there's a $10 fee to cover expenses in
presenting the class.

The last time we offered this same intro, 300 people signed up. If you
want to learn how to get a film funded, be sure to register while
there's still room. http://normanberns.eventbrite.com/

Also, the related Eight Week Course has been published for review by
filmmakers. Please inquire about the various discounts if you are a
members of an established film group. Buy early to enjoy the lowest
prices. More information and registration is here:

http://normanberns8week.eventbrite.com/

Both Courses are presented by ReelGrok & Film Synergy Magic

Looking forward to see you online,
