NALIP Conference this weekend…
NALIP (National Association for Latino Independent Producers) is having their 7th Annual National Conference this weekend. Looks like a great place to learn and network. For more info check their website.
For the past 6 years, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers has gathered the field of Latino/a Film, Television, Documentary and New Media makers: producers, directors, writers, performers, creative crew, funders, distributors, representatives, students, educators and activists for a critical look at Latinos in front of and behind the camera, plus those in executive suites and decision-making positions. The National Conference provides an opportunity to consider the state of the field during a dynamic weekend of professional seminars, hands-on workshops, provocative keynote addresses, screenings of member work, networking events and celebrations of our latest accomplishments.
