Why “Women in Filmmaking?” – Guest Post by MaryLee Herrmann

A question arose when I was setting up the upcoming panel discussion, Women in Filmmaking. It’s one I’ve heard others bring up in my travels to film festivals and in similar panels: Is it possible that it’s counterproductive to schedule “Women’s Film Blocks” at festivals, which feature films made by women? Or to have special panels and workshops for women in film, like this one?

Fight or Flight – Guest Post by Tod Davies

In science class, when I was growing up, they used to teach us a theory called 'Fight or Flight.' This was supposed to be an innate instinct to man. When in stress or fear, man would find himself compelled to do one of two things: fight the adversary, or flee. Supposedly this was the way we all were hardwired.

Musical Photography-A Guest Post By Gretchen Troop

My musical photography collection was shot entirely in Wyoming, which is a strange segue for a city girl like me.  I am a professional singer with a degree in photography and the singing definitely took precedence through my 20’s and 30’s.

Thinking About Music After Listening to David Glasser – Guest Post by Jonathan Machen

I attended a 'Digital Salon' last night at the offices of Boulder Digital Arts. Featured was a presentation about mastering, the final process of tweaking a musical recording so it is ready for reproduction and distribution. David Glasser, owner of Airshow Mastering in Boulder, took center stage after a pleasant 45 minutes of schmoozing, munching and looking at great action photos of musicians from a

Community, Not Competition: 4 Reasons I Network with My Peers – Guest Post by Betty Taylor

As an established freelance graphic designer, I sometimes talk to new freelancers who are worried that they shouldn't be talking to people they perceive as competitors.

I've also seen a lot of advice saying that it's a waste of time to network with other people who do what I do. Instead, the experts say, I should network with people who might hire me. It's true,
