It's That Time Yall...

Unless you are living under a rock the Tribeca Film Festival is coming up and it's supposed to be bigger and better than ever. Well that's what they're telling us anyway. The festivities kick off next Wednesday April 23rd and will last until May 4th. The hottest films in indie cinema are shown at this festival and everyone always comes out. An NYIndieSeen staffer has been involved with this festival for the past 2 years and you never know who you'll run into. You may meet a first time filmmaker and talk about their latest docudrama and meanwhile you turn around and see Philip Seymour Hoffman with a glass of chardonnay listening in on your conversation in the Tribeca Lounge. Or you may attend a movie screening and find yourself sitting right next to the most popular film distributor in all of Hollywood. So save the date and don't forget that anything can happen at TFF.
Keep your business cards close and your confidence closer, because you never know who you'll run into. Who cares if your movie isn't gettin screened this year? You may get connected within the festival and meet some cool people along the way. Wanna a way to get connected and watch movies without paying for tickets?? Volunteer!!
Go here to volunteer as staff for the festival. Who knows, you may find yourself handing out ticket stubs to Leonardo DiCaprio or helping out on a Q&A panelist session in which you should keep an ear out on what's being discussed. Either way...get your ass in there and have fun!

Self-Improvement Lab for Entrepreneurs & Actors

Self-Improvement Lab for Entrepreneurs & Actors
Saturday, April 26th
10am-12Noon
2hrs. of life affirming, career awakening advice to help you
continue to grow and improve as people and as actors & entrepreneurs.
The reason why we chose those two groups to target is, as actors &
entrepreneurs, both groups spend an inordinate amount of time working. Late
nights. Early days. Long hours. Most of it on our own, stressing about how to
continue on our own. Worrying about money, time. Worrying about how we will
survive if what we are doing fails. Being an actor or entrepreneur is a life of
stress and worry, but it doesn't have to be.
If you learn how to better manage your time, your stress, your health, and your
finances, you will have more energy and a stronger resolve to make it to that
plateau. Let us help show you how!
Each panelist will do a 15 minute presentation that will effectively communicate
ways for you to maximize your life and enhance yourself personally, in order to
maximize your effectiveness in your personal life and business life. Then, you
will be able to directly ask questions in a moderated Q&A.
SCENEPR wants to help you take yourself and your business to the next level.
