The Presentation:

The interactive power of computers is transforming the way we create and enjoy films, images, music, and books. As opportunities in the traditional industry diminish, filmmakers are seeking out their own opportunities in new media, and particularly the web series. Inexpensive to produce, easy to distribute, and able to cross borders, a web series is the perfect showcase for a talented filmmaker.

Whether you’re a writer, producer, actor, or crew member, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this interactive talk is for you. Using Alexis Niki’s MY BITCHY WITCHY PARIS VACATION as a case study, this presentation introduces you to the exciting and creative world of the web series. You’ll learn what a web series is, what’s happening in the online world in the US and in France, what to consider if you decide to create a web series, and how to navigate the inevitable challenges. Bring your questions, concerns, and enthusiasm!

The Presenter:

She created MY BITCHY WITCHY PARIS VACATION (www.bitchywitchythefilm.com), a web series about three American tourists—a menopausal mother and her two hormonal daughters—who travel to Paris. Cultures and biology collide in this sweet, painful, and humorous exploration of mother-daughter relationships. Alexis specializes in entertainment with a smart edge for both traditional and new media. Visit her website at www.thethirddraft.com.
