Filled with over 18 panels, workshops, showcase events, castings and IFL's inaugural awards show, expectations were far exceeded by everyone in attendance.
Conference founder and CEO Deontae Trundle decided also introduced Georgia to its first industry-focused trade show, which included industry-leading exhibitors like RED Digital Cinema, LaCie, Matthew Studio Equipment, Innocinema, Norcostco, Justice Gaming and others. “The idea has always been to provide both aspiring and seasoned professionals with the resources needed to make bigger and better productions and help alleviate some of the limitations for more creative storytelling,” said Trundle, “and this was the perfect way to do just that.”
