Two seasoned film editors will share their top advice regarding trailers, sizzle reels and demo reels in a panel discussion at the Oak Room at The Centre tonight, June 14, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The “Keep it Short: Cutting Trailers and Reels That Sizzle” panel will benefit independent filmmakers, directors and actors/actresses seeking to put their best foot forward and represent themselves boldly and effectively.
Panelists include Jeff Johnson (of Outpost Media) and Puppett (editor and Distribution Delivery Coordinator at Seed&Spark) with moderator Jennifer Fischer (former founder/director of the Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival and producer and distributor with Think Ten Media Group).
Puppett is the Distribution Delivery Coordinator at Seed&Spark. With more than a decade of experience editing, Puppett specializes in short-form work. Her short films have screened at 45+ film festivals worldwide, including Slamdance, Outfest Los Angeles, and Inside Out Toronto.

She stays up to date with video editing standards, and supplies clips and demo reels for use on Actors Access and LA Casting.

He has produced award-winning Trailers and TV spots at three different post production houses before starting his own company, Outpost Media in 2011.
