| Public Relations | Information Director/Cofounder, Coastside Film Society CFS is a five year old, nonprofit corporation that provides filmmakers in the San Francisco Bay area with a venue for screening locally produced video, educational programs, and a place where videographers can share techniques and ideas with other video artists. Each month I create and publish a variety of publicity pieces about upcoming programs. These include: • A monthly electronic press kit distributed to Bay Area newspaper and magazine editors. • Postings on news and entertainment blogs and websites (usually submitted as HTML) . • Short promotional videos aired on TV stations & streamed from the CFS & other websites. • Posters and flyers posted in storefront windows throughout the Bay Area by CFS volunteers. • Bi- monthly Film Society email postings informing Film Society members of upcoming events. • The CFS website. My company developed this website, which is updated by myself & CFS volunteers working under my supervision. On the CFS website, you can find: Listings for upcoming Film Nights. http://www.hmbfilm.org/index.php?thePage=Events Streaming video promoting upcoming Film Nights. http://www.hmbfilm.org/ A chronological listing of the more than 100 films the CFS has screened since 2002 http://www.hmbfilm.org/index.php?thePage=History I have also headed up some documentary filmmaking projects for the group. For example, in 2004, a half dozen camera people spent two days filming the hoopla surrounding the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. I combined video captured on DV, miniDV, hi-8, VHS-C, and still digital cameras together into a half hour program shown on local TV and movie screens. |
