CONTACTS I MADE AT UDINE AND PEOPLE I MET
While i was over there i got a chance to interview many directors and meet a large range of freelance media practitioners.
The directors that i met and filmed interviews with were
LEE Jeong Beom Director of The man from no where
KIM Min-suk Director of Haunters
LI Weiran Director of Shama Town
I also got the chance of meeting Fredrick Ambroisine who is a freelance media practitioner mainly focusing in east Asian films ,he travels the world interviewing directors and storing these interviews until he can sell them or it is a lucrative time time to sell the interview and footage he has of them. He was an inspiration as he is a one man company and compressed what we did as a team to just him and did it too a high standared that he can sell this on.
I will keep in contact with Fred and rollow him online as he has many contacts on the film curcuit and sometimes needs crews so it would be a great experience to work with him and a valuable asset to tap.If i were to film another festival i would contact fred for advice and guidance on what to do and who to film and what i can do with that footage. Its another avenue i can look down in future to earn money.
Another contact i made was Nicola Cassanello who is a free lance photographer who travels the circuit and freelances for the festivals or takes pictures and then sells them on to local press,This is another avenue i haven’t thought of but if in future i decide to try he can help me get through the door. Also is an expert in the 5D which is a camera i am starting to use a lot so i also gained knowledge from him about the camera which helped during the week. You can never have too many contacts even if it is not your direct chosen field ,he is in the industry and is a contact in an area that i don’t already have.
