Volunteering at the “Making Media Now” Conference.

A few weeks ago I learned via the Beanywood website that the Boston Filmmakers’ Collaborative was hosting a conference at Boston University on June 1st. The registration fee wasn’t in my budget so I responded to the call for volunteers, and spent a delightful and extremely long day greeting, smiling at, listening to and directing people at the Photonics Center at BU. I learned a lot from the talks, met some very nice and interesting people, and now have many new connections in the Boston film-making crowd. This will undoubtedly be very helpful as I am navigating those waters myself (I’m producing a documentary and don’t always know if I’m sinking or swimming) – and one never knows when a Boston filmmaker might need to collaborate with a narrator in western Mass….
