TRU’s June Panel You Oughta Be in Pictures?
7:30 – 9:30PM
Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) presents their June panel, You Oughta Be in Pictures?
Making the Switch between Theater and Film on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 7:30pm at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street, Mainstage Theatre, NYC. Doors open at 7pm for networking and refreshments, presentations and roundtable introductions start at 7:30pm (come prepared with your best half-minute summary of who you are, and what you need).
Speakers will include Michael Alden, producer (theater: Grey Gardens, Bat Boy, The King’s Speech on stage, Becoming Dr. Ruth; film: Just Cause with Sean Connery, documentary UnZipped, Academy Award nominee The Hours, multi-award winning Kissing Jessica Stein, foreign feature film The Zookeeper starring Sam Neill); Sam Adelman, producer/editor (film: Screen Door Jesus, Welcome to Academia, documentaries That Daughter’s Crazy, Oscar); Daryl Sledge, producer (Fried Chicken and Latkes), film productions (I Am Legend, Salt, Previous), production assistant NBC Universal, producer in RipFest; and more.
This panel will help you determine if the skills you bring to producing in theater translate into film and television. We will explore the similarities and differences, the comparative costs of producing each, the differences in how you should approach investors, and how to identify if a property is adaptable from one medium to another.
Admission is $12 (free for TRU members). Please RSVP at least a day in advance (or much sooner) for reservations: 212/714-7628; or e-mail TRUStaff1@gmail.com.
