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.
