&lt;p&gt;Last week the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, Plaza Theatre, LaFont Cinema Sandy Springs, and the W Hotel Midtown, was packed with hundreds of film lovers and film makers as they enjoyed the 35th Atlanta Film Festival! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With over 30 films and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.atlantafilmfestival.com/2011-festival/101-reasons-to-go/"&gt;101 Reasons&lt;/a&gt; why you should go to the Atlanta Film Festival, the Filmmakers Reloaded crew was excited about the inaugural CINformation Seminars. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lky9mnaPBn1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CINformation Seminar Series was a new feature introduced by the Atlanta Film Festival this year! It featured diverse workshops and panels that catered to the indie filmmaker. It didn&amp;#8217;t matter if you were award winning filmmaker or an aspiring filmmaker there was a panel for you! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Saturday April 30, industry professionals filled up a meeting room in the W Hotel Midtown for an all day CINformation event. Moderated my Andrew Velcoff of Greenberg Traurig, the three seminars were intense and filled with informative elements of filmmaking from the importance of film incentives to financing structures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of the festival offered more seminars that spoke to the true indie filmmaker. As indie filmmakers ourselves, of course the Filmmakers Reloaded team was there to soak up all the information to share with you all! Not only did Filmmakers Reloaded cover some of the CINformations, very our Queen worked as the volunteer captain of the CINformation series!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Glance at Filmmakers Reloaded CINformation Notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Impact and Importance of Film Tax Incentives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Panelist: Joseph Chianese, Ric Reitz, Tom Luse, Alison Fibben Moderator: Andrew Velcoff&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Georgia offers a 30% tax incentive to productions with a 500,000 min budget.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Utilize the Georgia Film Office to assist with helping find locations for your production.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can bundle projects to meet the 500,000 budget as long as the productions are under the same company.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Pitch Your Project&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Panelist: Mike Lazzo, Scot Safon, Brad Siegel&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t waste your time pitching the wrong project. Match the project with the person you are pitching to.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A good script is more powerful than a pitch.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sometimes a network wants controversy. It&amp;#8217;s built in publicity. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you don&amp;#8217;t have a track record, make sure you can pitch your idea in one line and it is packaged well. You must get the networks attention.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to make a Living as a Freelancer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Panelist: Sheryl Myers, Linda Burns, Lesley Harris, Samantha Worthen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Get involved win the film community. You have to be able to make connections and create opportunities. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Know the difference between being persistence and being annoying for follow ups after submitting resumes. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distribution and Deliverables in the Digital Age&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Panelist: Ron Heidt, Zeke Flatten, Dan Keston, Peter Ballard&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It&amp;#8217;s good to think about your film up front in terms of what you envision it being.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You want to work with people who get your vision and can give you good HONEST feedback. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With this digital age you can start on a project and start the editing process that same day. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Making Atlanta a Stronger Hub for Film, Media, and Digital Entertainment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lee Thomas, Kris Bagwell, Garia Davis, Asanta Bradford&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Everyone supporting the GA film business is important! This is not Hollywood and we are still emerging. We need to stick together.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The better experience the creator of the show has in ATL the better the chance that they will come back to create more shows. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ATL needs to train more people for the critical jobs in ATL; location scouting, art department, accounting. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now of course it wouldn&amp;#8217;t be a Film Festival without some awesome films!!!! Here a few of Filmmakers Reloaded favorites! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Uncertainty looms over the heads of three men, notably different, yet all on the same path searching for opportunity in the nation&amp;#8217;s capital. Armed with limitless potential, these men&amp;#8217;s lives will take an unexpected turn when power and race collide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The film is a Fairytale/Parable about the child sex trafficking epidemic that has overrun our city of Atlanta. We are using the film to not only raise awareness but provoke meaningful action towards this issue taking place in our own backyard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Based on a true story, an illiterate, 84-year-old villager and war veteran takes Kenya&amp;#8217;s declaration of &amp;#8220;free education for all&amp;#8221; literally and enrolls in the local elementary school. Aided by his teacher and a cast of enchanting students, he learns the power of education can deliver the greatest freedom of all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Director: Anthony McHie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;* Anthony McHie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; was featured on Filmmakers Reloaded Spotlight.

&lt;p&gt;When the world is coming to an apocalyptic end around him, what does young comedian Jeremy Keane choose to talk about when he hits record on his camera?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/TheStartofDreams?sk=wall"&gt;The Start of Dreams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Director: The Horne Brothers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*The Start of Dreams was a big hit at the Atlanta Film Festival! With three sold out shows it was a must see film!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;   &lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkyi12AUtX1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three young hopefuls claim their acting scholarship prizes at the Atlanta regionals and prepare for the August Wilson Monologue Competition on Broadway, under the guidance of Tony-nominated Kenny Leon. Leon and Denzel Washington describe how state support helped their early careers. But as Leon’s protégées learn the value of their craft and unlock their potential, Georgia’s arts funding comes underthreat and with it theater programs like Leon’s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see the 35th Atlanta Film Festival was eventful, informative, and inspiring, and entertaining! Having the opportunity to see great indie films is always a plus but the push to educate and inform with the new CINformation Seminar Series is what brought this festival to the top. As filmmakers it is important for us to understand that we must continue to learn! There are many elements that would help filmmakers perfect their craft, and most of these elements were covered in the CINformation Seminar Series. Let&amp;#8217;s just hope the filmmakers in attendance took notes and is ready to use these tips to produce that award winning film to submit to the next Atlanta Film Festival!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the last Thursday of every month creatives around the Atlanta Film Community come together to meet, greet, eat, and Get Connected! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkf4eaAXdt1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having outgrown the space at Gordon Biersch Brewery, this month&amp;#8217;s event was the first one held at it&amp;#8217;s new venue Fox Sports Grill in Atlantic Station.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfy33krSC1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New Location but same Energetic Atmosphere&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And of course The Filmmakers Reloaded crew was in full effect at Get Connected! We witnessed the introductions, interactions, and most importantly the connections!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfy46pNkY1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfy4vKID31qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfy5laCjC1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Film Community Gets Connected&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the thriving film industry in Georgia, events like Get Connected are beneficial to each and every entity of the filmmaking world. Producers connecting with Directors, Directors connecting with Talent, Talent connecting with Casting Directors&amp;#8230;.you get the point! This monthly event creatively places the film community in a relaxed setting where the art of networking feels less like &amp;#8220;working&amp;#8221; and more like &amp;#8220;connecting&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUT WAIT THERE&amp;#8217;S MORE!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfy9bqI1A1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfyawz0FC1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfybmOa7F1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raffles, Sponsors, Screenings, and Special Guest oh my!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This month Get Connected raffled off the the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.ozonline.tv/oz_sourcebooks1_gfvs.html"&gt;2011 Georgia Film, Video &amp;amp; Digital Entertainment Sourcebook&lt;/a&gt;. This encyclopedic sourcebook for the Georgia film and video industry offers a massive directory of local filmmakers from pre-production to post production. In addition the company that publishes this Sourcebook, Oz Publishing was a sponsor this month. Filmmakers Reloaded&amp;#8217;s own Production Manager Carolyn Richards was working double duty at the Oz Publishing where they celebrated the return of The Oz Magazine by giving free publications to the Get Connected family!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkfyemnWlL1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tiana Fernandez , Carolyn Richards, Randy Pecot&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk87k0qFAp1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Filmmakers Reloaded was honored to be invited to the panel&lt;span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Micro Budget, Major Film&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; hosted by the Morehouse Filmmakers Association and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://lr2productions.tumblr.com/"&gt;L R Productions&lt;/a&gt;. Panelists Stephen M. Gibson, Jr. and John R. Cleveland shared their valuable experience in producing a successful Major film on a Micro budget to a room of eager aspiring filmmakers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; Stephen and John’s laid-back demeanor brought a sense of calmness to the room. In addition to honestly speaking about the process of filming &lt;a href="http://www.fallofthehuntersmoon.com/"&gt;Fall of the Hunter’s Moon,&lt;/a&gt; the panelists showed genuine interest in everyone sitting in the audience, primarily Morehouse students. The students openly asked Stephen and John questions about the difficulties of filmmaking on a microbudget. They even allowed me to put my two cents in on a few topics :-)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Topics ranging from the infamous traditional film school v. non film school debate to going through the filmmaking process (from pre-production to distribution), this panel was informative, entertaining, and inspiring.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think panels like this are so valuable for indie filmmakers. Especially filmmakers who are just getting their foot in the door. MONEY SHOULD NEVER STOP YOU FROM MAKING A FILM! I can&amp;#8217;t stress this enough! With a community full of ambitious filmmakers and talent looking for experience there is no excuse!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From beginning sketches to the actual headgear the talent wore on set, Stephen and John shared their personal experience of taking their vision from paper to film. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Glance at my Notes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Press is your best tool being an indie filmmaker.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure you separate yourself from the illegitimate productions talking place. Set up a business plan.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have to be prepared for a production. Do a script breakdown and be efficient.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you have a legit business (letterhead, business cards) you will attract people who will provide production value.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Biggest asset for a producer is to be able to find ways to make things happen with a microbudget.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have to have a strict budget! You need to be able to say &amp;#8220;no&amp;#8221; to some things.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Build your own jibs and dollies to save money.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Utilize crowd funding to fund your movie (they used IndieGogo).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljnunbrbEm1qfzrim.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday April 12, 2011 WIFTA along with the Digital Moving Images Salon of Spelman College hosted Digital Doyenness: Wisdom from the Women who Lead in Social Media and Digital Innovation. As a female filmmaker who is the Social Media Manager for Filmmakers Reloaded I knew this would be an event that I MUST be at! Well I am ALSO the editor for FMR and on Tuesday I was working on the rough cut and promo for the first episode of our new talk show Let&amp;#8217;s Talk Film with JP AUTHOR. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say I wasn&amp;#8217;t able to attend but the event was streamed online via Ustream!!! Imagine me sitting in front of three screens&amp;#8230;.Final Cut, After Effects, and Twitter Mac App (so I can tweet from my personal account and the FMR account, @FMReloaded. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I honestly enjoyed viewing the event online! When you are in the midst of an event sometimes it can be a tad overwhelming to listen, take notes for the blog, AND live tweet! Although I was technically doing the same thing it seem easier from the comfort of the FMR studio!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event focused on using social media as a tool to your expand your brand and promote your project. With a panel of energetic intelligent social media queens, the event was quite entertaining! I learned, laughed, and connected&amp;#8230;yep sitting right at the computer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Glimpse of my notes&amp;#8230;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Through blogging you can tell a story&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Figure out which platform is best for your audience and what they&amp;#8217;re talking about&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People will never forget what you say online! And it&amp;#8217;s never private!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure the info you do put out represents YOU and your brand. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don&amp;#8217;t think about Social Media as promotion. Think about it as connection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;YOU run the technology, the technology does not run YOU&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Best way to build followers: be true to your passion and talk about how others can help support that passion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;LinkedIn is your Chamber of Commerce, Facebook is a family reunion, and twitter is a cocktail party.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Missed the event? No worries! Check out the video and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.wifta.org/Default.aspx?pageId=974619"&gt;Meet The Panel&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some may say festival season is the most important time for an Independent Filmmaker. For some, film festivals may be the only platform for filmmakers to showcase their films on the silver screen! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In November 2010, The BronzeLens Film Festival launched its inaugural festival right here in Atlanta, GA. In addition to great film screenings, the Bronzelens Film Festival offered the attendees a plethora of informative industry related Workshops and Master Classes. This element alone separated BronzeLens from any other festival in the city. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the most popular workshops offered was the &lt;strong&gt;Alternative Careers in Film&lt;/strong&gt;presented by Tyler Perry Studios Executive Vice President, Roger Bobb. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roger Bobb-Tyler Perry Executive Vice President&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This particular workshop focused on the different career paths in the film industry. It highlighted the various crews that work hard behind the scenes to make a production successful. From Producer Angi Bones to Make-up Artist Patrice Coleman, the panel was well represented with diverse roles and key players from Tyler Perry Studios.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to blessing the audience with their inspirational stories of how they began in the film industry, the panel shared information about their individual roles at TPS along with how essential each crew is to one another; especially in a high volume, fast paced studio like Tyler Perry Studios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the workshop, the panel along with Roger Bob took the time to speak with each and every individual who approached them. The sincere and gracious attitude that Roger Bob and the panelist possessed welcomed a sense of calmness to the atmosphere allowing the attendees, from the film student just starting out to the successful filmmaker to openly talk to them. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All and all the combination of screenings, networking, and the Women SuperStars Luncheon make the BronzeLens Film Festivals a must for industry professionals and aficionado film lovers.&lt;/p&gt;
