Lucky lucky lucky me, I'm one of the eight producers selected to be part of the nextMEDIA/OMDC Networking Group. Among the benefits of being part of the group is some mentorship from Mike Kasprow, Creative Director Trapeze Media.
The other members of the group are:
* David Oppenheim, Head of Development / Producer, Interactive, Kensington Communications Inc.
* Tony Walsh, Founder & Chief Navigator, Phantom Compass
* John Bessai, President, CineFocus Canada Interactive
* Randall Thorne, Executive Director, The NE Inc.
* Erin Faith Young, President/Producer, caché film and television
* Kevin Airgid,CD, Airgid Media Inc,
* Damon D'Oliveira, Partner/VP Production, Conquering Lion Pictures
It's a very cool and diverse group, each of seeking something very different from the NextMEDIA experience.
In addition to Mike's insights, we've also already met with Amy Davies and Mark Greenspan of Achilles Media and Kim Gibson of the Ontario Media Development Corporation.
NextMEDIA's Monetizing Digital Media is next Tuesday and Wednesday (Nove 18-19) at CiRCA in Toronto. There are some great speakers and panels in the lineup. I'm especially looking forward to hearing what Greg Goodfried, creator of LonelyGirl15 has to say.
