As of earlier this week, our sister company, Jigsaw Global, has officially launched!
Our first Jigsaw Global workshop will take place at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Jigsaw is creating a one-day immersion program, Digital Dive: a new media workshop for filmmakers, to help feature filmmakers wrap their heads around the world of digital media content creation. The program will be held on the first Friday of the festival, January 22, with a closing panel and huge wrap party on the 23rd.
Collaborating with the Sundance Film Festival team has been great. We are working closely with them to determine the topics and presenters of the new media workshop, which will be held at New Frontier on Main – both the name and venue of the film festival’s annual digital arts exhibition. Sundance announced the lineup for the 2010 exhibition last week. The 13 featured artists include Nao Bustamante (USA), Petko Dourmana (Bulgaria), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (USA), Ragnar Kjartansson (Iceland), and Tracey Snelling (USA).
For Digital Dive, experts will present case studies, product demos, and practical information about how to get your feet wet with website, mobile phone, social media, and cross-platform production. It is a perfect introduction for filmmakers and film industry professionals with minimal, hands-on digital media production experience. All instructional sessions and product demos are open to the public, with 30 spots reserved for Sundance-affiliated filmmakers.
Pardon our dust… Genius Effect Media Group has finally moved into its new Los Angeles office. We will share the space with our sister company, Jigsaw Global (more info on Jigsaw Global coming soon!). It’s really a great space – a 2500+ sq ft multi-level loft located near Universal City. Not only will the new space be our home offices, but it will also be available for private events and productions for up to 300 people. The building has been used to host all kinds of cool things, from live music, to art exhibits, photo/video shoots, mixers, panel discussions, holiday parties (hint, hint!) and everything in between. It’s also fully accented with exposed brick walls, commissioned art work, hard wood floors, 20-foot ceilings, full kitchen, multiple rooms, etc. Feel free to come by and check us out!
