Picture
In the Spotlight today is the 9th Annual Orlando Film Festival (OFF), a film festival that knows just how to treat cineastes like the rock stars they are. OFF is designed for filmmakers by filmmakers and offers an endless barrage of perks, including deep discounts at stellar restaurants and bars throughout Orlando. OFF never leaves its visitors bored, disoriented, or dissatisfied. It's a full-service festival with nearly everything to offer, including raucous afterparties that last deep into the night.

OFF is just a stone's throw from Disney World and benefits greatly from a fruitful partnership with Universal Studios. In fact, the festival's annual, filmmaker-only backlot tour of the Universal Studios lot is just the sort of unforgettable perk visitors won't find elsewhere. As an added bonus, OFF screens its selected films in an incredible theater replete with state-of-the-art digital projection and sound, 3-D capabilities, gourmet concessions, two bars, and sinfully comfy chairs. It's cinema heaven, safely ensconced in the Sunshine State.

Orlando boasts a huge (and growing) film community, and OFF is an ideal entry point into that exciting family. Attending filmmakers benefit from discounted rates at festival hotels, free transportation from the hotel to the theater, and free Stella Artois at every single afterparty. At OFF, the focus isn't on big budgets, star power, or premiere status - it's on great films, great celebrations, and great hospitality for filmmakers who are ready to make themselves seen and heard.

KNOXVILLE
FILM FESTIVAL

Knoxville, Tennessee - USA
September 11 to 14, 2014
Upcoming Deadline: June 1, 2014

The 2nd Annual Knoxville Film Festival celebrates the art of independent cinema and the grit and vision of those who create it. Benefiting from a broad array of documentary and narrative features and shorts, KFF illustrates the full spectrum of creativity and welcomes invigorating discussion on art, craft, and everything in between. Last year, more than 2,000 visitors enjoyed more than 80 independent films, five mind-expanding panels, and the unforgettable "7-Day Shootout" that put raw talent to the test.

It's hard to believe so much excitement can occur in just one weekend, but KFF promises a party that doesn't let up. With strong support from Regal Entertainment Group (the world's largest theater chain, whose headquarters just happens to be in Knoxville) along with stellar local corporate sponsorship, KFF leaves its visitors awash in nearly everything they could desire.

Travelers who dare to step away from KFF's film and entertainment offerings will find plenty to see and do in Knoxville, a city ranked by Blender Magazine as one of the best music scenes in the United States. Steeped in American history and smothered in bluegrass charm, Knoxville is an ideal setting for a film festival that celebrates diversity, artistry, and frivolity. Make plans to join in on the fun this September!

NPR, facing a $6 million budget shortfall

5/21/2014

NPR will end production of its midday program “Tell Me More” on Aug. 1 and eliminate 28 jobs across the newsroom in an effort to close a $6 million deficit, the public broadcaster said on Tuesday.

The seven-year-old program, which is hosted by Michel Martin, was meant to attract African-Americans and other listeners of color. A little more than a week ago, NPR’s board adopted a strategic plan including a mandate to expand diversity and
hired a new chief executive, Jarl Mohn, who promised a similar focus on appealing to more diverse audiences. But the board had also previously directed management to end the budget deficit by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

HARD DRIVE SOLUTIONS FOR VIDEO-EDITING

5/21/2014

Picture
Video editing is one of the most demanding tasks you can execute on a computer. A modern video-editing program such as Adobe Premiere requires high performance from the processor, RAM memory, GPU (if using GPU acceleration), as well as storage drives. Choosing a fast storage solution can be a little tougher than picking the fastest computer processor, as there are more tradeoffs involved. The largest drives aren’t always the fastest, and speeds can vary a great deal. This guide was created to help you choose the right storage drive (or drives) for your editing needs, from the small to the large.
