READ MORE One of the major components missing at SXSW has been recognizing the importance that economic incentives have for all types of production.

Louisiana for example has incetnives designed to attract not only motion picture production, but also video game development; sound recording and even live or theatrical performances. While the panel is primarily composed of Louisiana economic development officials, we certainly can have a spectrum of other states at the table.

READ MORE Inside the Artists' Studio is a talkshow hosted by James Chimpton, a robotic monkey who gathers facts and formulates interview questions (a la Inside the Actors Studio) in real-time using the Internet.

READ MORE This panel presents an alternative to the mercenary point of view shared by many young artists that leaves them feeling resigned and disappointed. We'll discuss how compassion, at the center of a career in directing, writing, or acting, gives any artist access to the most extraordinary career possible. What is compassion? How can it be present in an artist's work? What's the potential impact of work that's created from a place of compassion? What's wrong with just trying to make something that sells? What's the cost when an artist chooses to ignore compassion? Drawing on the works of great teachers, philosophers, poets, Buddhist writers, we'll be discussing this with at least one highly successful actor and director, and at least two other highly regarded industry professionals, and we'll show you how YOU can have a career beyond your wildest imagination.

Give and Take books with strangers. Get more than you gave. Make art out of books and give them away. Check our website for video clips of these events and how anyone can make their own activity. We supply and give away hundreds of books and encourage the public to make art from the books and then give them away to strangers. This process is an artwork in itself and responds to the people, place and materials/books we use. DESCRIPTION Take one free book, read/write/draw on it, give the book away as a free art piece to a stranger. Its a great ice breaker and you will make someone else's day. This is a collaborative artwork that is about the process rather then the product and empowers everyone to create art and selflessly give it away in so doing changing their behaviour and the way they live for the better. Its subversive art and has existed in an undercover way for a while now. We are always developing new activities and are looking for a permanent spaces to facilitate longer term projects too.

Others claim it or demand it, putting filmmakers in the unfortunate position of pulling, or having to choose. It's really just a stupid, and messy pissing match, and when it is all said and done, it's virtually meaningless. Now that fewer films are getting acquired at majors, what's the big deal? Film Festivals

READ MORE This presentation will examine the transformations in film reception in the age of social media as audiences become participants in public conversations about movies. These conversations are shaped by the social structures of the film blogosphere and have bewildering implications for film workers, particularly indie filmmakers who strongly benefit from strong word-of-mouth and professional film critics who see their roles in facilitating conversations about movies transformed by readers prepared to talk back in a variety of formats, including blogs, Twitter, and other Web 2.0 tools.
