Postcard from Reel Exchange 2006

Posted on: October 13, 2006

Dear emerging filmmakers, animators, and TV moguls:

Hi. How are you? Us? We're great. We held an event on October 6 called Reel Exchange. The annual event is a meeting of the minds of sorts. It's the only program anywhere that allows you to hear how your body of work, the sum of your abilities, sells in the industry. And as you go off into the world applying for jobs and grants; many organizations prefer to view a reel and not just one particular project.

The event was open to all. With a selective screening process, 28 students and recent alumni screened their reels for 17 professionals whose jobs range from directors & producers to lead animators to DPs to post production extrodinaires. Hopefully these individuals benefited from the array of feedback they received.

We wish you were there. But no worries...will do it again next fall. Bigger and better.

XOXO, Portfolio Center

P.S. -- If you wanna gear up to submit work to be screened at next year's event, check out our Short Cuts program. This resource will pair you up with an editor to cut your reel as well as author it to DVD.
