ConvergeSouth Film Festival

This year I’m helping ConvergeSouth organize their inaugural film festival. This is new to me, and I’m really excited about it. My god, I finally got a chance to be a part of a film festival. Most of the time I’m trying to get a project into one.

What is ConvergeSouth? OK here are the details.

ConvergeSouth is a dynamic, interactive and truly unique conference. Through a hands-on leader-led approach, this year’s ConvergeSouth focuses on dialogue and participation. The people formerly known as the audience become discussion leaders. Everyone joins in, as panelists and leaders encourage an exchange of ideas, tools and best practices. The conference promotes ongoing conversation online and in real-life.

ConvergeSouth is simply the most affordable conference of its kind (it’s free!). Attend this exciting forum if you want to:

• explore new company strategies
• spend time with movers and shakers of new media models
• interact with thought leaders, influencers and entrepreneurs

So I decided to try to incoporate a similar idea into the film festival. Here is a list of categories.

• music video category
• citizen journalism
• animation
• short films
• vlogs

I’m excited to incorporate vloggers in this category. I’m not really sure how well it will go but very excited to see a new format. Good luck to all who enter, and wish me luck in order to get this event off the ground. Hope to see you in Greensboro in October. Go check out the details over at the site. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions or questions go ahead and contact me.
