Hi Kurt, You have been a pleasure to work with.

Leigh McCarthy

Sony Playstation – Deutsch Advertising

Hello Kurt,  my name is Ben Valks and founder of the Black Jaguar Foundation. So far your voice has made a very good impression in one 'boardroom' already.. and reactions from others are positive too..  We are happy with the result, thanks for your part of charity fee / contribution to the project.

Thanks for spreading the 'word' that Wild Black Jaguars still exists......, but that it's just a matter of time, if the illegal deforestation and hunting goes on!  90% of the total jaguar population of 1970 has already been wiped out!

You have great range. My favorite is the one that’s about 75% LaFontaine, 20% Morgan Freeman, and 5% Kiefer Sutherland.

Mike Kunert

Hello Kurt!

 I have good News: my client approves your voice over work without changes! He was really happy!

 Thanks a lot for your professionalism.

 It was a great pleasure for me to work with you. Hopefully, we will see (or better hear) us soon again..

 Best regards,

 Michel Schütz

Pitch Conference
A good pitch can get a bad film made and a bad pitch can leave a terrific project languishing on the shelf.  Pitching is part art (it’s creative), part science (needs to follow a tight script) and part salesmanship. Conference attendees will first learn the essential rules and tools of pitching from the experts.  Then, in the AFM’s own variation of The Voice and American Idol, volunteers from the audience (you?) will pitch a panel of Hollywood decision makers. They will give unvarnished feedback on each pitch - saying what worked, what didn't, and why. Warning: This session is not for the weak.

AMERICAN FILM MARKET® LAUNCHS NEW FIVE-DAY AFM CONFERENCE SERIES

AMERICAN FILM MARKET® LAUNCHS NEW FIVE-DAY AFM CONFERENCE SERIES 

http://livevideoinc.com/News.html



The American Film Market (AFM®)  launched a new five-day conference program for this years  2011 Market going on now, until Nov. 9th in Santa Monica.  The inaugural AFM Conference Series will cover five topics spanning from treatment to screen.  The AFM’s 8,000 attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear from the industry’s global thought leaders, decision makers and experts who all converge annually at the AFM.

The AFM Conference Series, scheduled for 9 a.m.-1 p.m. daily from Friday, Nov. 4 - Tuesday, Nov. 8, will be comprised of the Finance Conference, Production Conference, Marketing Conference, Distribution Conference and Pitch Conference.   The AFM Conference Series will greatly enhance the experience for AFM attendees, offering tremendous value, knowledge, insight and direct access to global luminaries whom they otherwise would not find all in one place.  Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP will serve as the presenting sponsor of the AFM Conference Series.

In addition, AFM will introduce an Industry Conversations program comprised of 14 intimate, interactive and informative discussions led by visionaries, trendsetters and experts, which will be offered free to market attendees at 2:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. daily until Nov. 8th.

“The AFM Conference Series and Industry Conversations are two significant initiatives that will bring greater value and benefit to our thousands of attendees,” said Jonathan Wolf, executive vice president of the Independent Film & Television Alliance and managing director of the AFM.  “The AFM is unique as it’s the only event in North America that attracts thousands of leaders in motion pictures from more than 70 countries, giving us the opportunity to curate terrific conferences with top talent from both Hollywood and around the world.”

ACCESS TO INDUSTRY LEADERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO TAKE CENTER STAGE



The 2011 AFM Conference Series will consist of:

Saturday, Nov. 5 – Pitch Conference

Warning: This session is not for the weak.

Sunday, Nov. 6 – Marketing Conference 
In the age of digital media, word-of-mouth and friend recommendations can make or break the box office results.  Connecting with and engaging the audience in authentic, creative ways is critical.  The gurus behind the most successful and innovative marketing campaigns discuss reinventing the marketing wheel, explore how the consumer can be the most effective marketing tool and reveal how to win over the broadest possible audience.

Monday, Nov. 7 – Production Conference
Brand integration and packaging often play an important role in the filmmaking process.  From big-budget blockbusters to art and genre films, the creative visions of directors, writers and producers are being supported, yet challenged, by these new business models and opportunities.  Agents, advertisers and producers disclose what is going on behind the scenes and how to seamlessly incorporate these new decision makers into the production process.

Tuesday, Nov. 8 – Distribution Conference
Why make a film if no one will see it?  Industry leaders disclose their successful strategies for managing and monetizing the proliferation of global platforms and changing release strategies.  They will also separate fact and fiction about limited & specialized releases, film festivals and straight-to-VOD.

The 2011 AFM Conference Series will be held Nov. 4-8 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel.  For additional information, visit www.AmericanFilmMarket.com/conferences. 


About the AFM
The business of independent motion picture production and distribution – a truly collaborative process – reaches its peak every year at the AFM, when more than 8,000 industry leaders converge in Santa Monica for eight days of deal-making, screenings, conferences, premieres, networking and parties.  Participants come from more than 70 countries and include acquisition and development executives, agents, attorneys, directors, distributors, festival directors, financiers, film commissioners, producers, writers, the world's press and all those who provide services to the motion picture industry.

Founded in 1981, the AFM quickly became the premier global marketplace where Hollywood's decision-makers and trendsetters all gather under one roof.  Unlike a film festival, the AFM is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed.  In just eight days, more than $800 million in deals will be sealed - on both completed films and those in every stage of development and production - making the AFM the must-attend industry event.

The AFM is produced by the Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA), the trade association representing the world's producers and distributors of independent motion pictures and television programs.  More information is online at www.IFTA-online.org.

Today the American Film Market (AFM) opened in Santa Monica California. This year Live Video Inc [LVI] Executive Producer - Director, Kurt Kelly will be working with Pepper Jay and her team from Actors Reporter to host coverage from this years event. To arrange on camera interviews with  LVI's Kurt Kelly and Actors Reporter, contact Producer "Pepper Jay" <pepper@actorsreporter.com>, or "Edward James" <info@livevideoinc.com> or call 310-925-2709.
