Avila University is host a one night film symposium with several venture capitalists who have started an organization to finance independent films in seven major cites. They have chosen Kansas City as their next target city to establish yet another home base and an outlet for financing. The
event will take place July 22 on the Avila Campus. I would to attend you meeting on Wednesday to present this and bring more information to involve IFC.

Reception 5-6
Seminar 6-10

Hello fellow Filmmakers-

This is Benjamin Meade, filmmaker and Professor of Film & Digital Media at Avila University. I am pleased to announce that a symposium will be held the evening of July 22nd at the Whitfield Center on our campus involving how to get investing for your film project. The symposium is presented by Thomas Trenker, founder of the Institute for International Film Financing. Please take the time to read about Thomas below and be assured that his wish is to start a chapter here in Kansas City, similar to the ones he started across the country.

There will also be several surprise guest speakers and venture capitalists. There are many people that I simply do not have email address for, so PLEASE forward this to as many people as you wish. Look for additional information as we get closer to the event. We are very pleased that Thomas has chosen Avila University for the symposium and hope you can all make it. As you know, financing in the key to filmmaking. I will attend you meeting this week with more info.

Respectfully,

Dr. Benjamin Meade
Avila University

Kansas International Film Festival
October 1st – 7th.
IFC screening on Wed the 6th.
IFC hosted reception to follow.

WE WILL BE DOING A COMEDY SCREENING.
Films do not have to be made specifically for KIFF. There is no theme. However, if this has screened in an IFC event before, there needs to be significant changes to the film.

Charlotte Street Foundation sends the following:
Charlotte Street Foundation’s Urban Culture Project seeks applications from artists interested in being considered for its Studio Residency Program for both visual and performing artists. Applications are next due FRIDAY, JULY 16 (postmarked or delivered by 5pm to CSF’s offices, 1000 West 25th Street).

UCP’s Studio Residency Program has been providing free studio spaces since 2004 for talented and dedicated local visual artists in need of space in which to work. In 2009, UCP expanded the program to include performing artists, when it launched a new facility at City Center Square, 1100 Main, 5th floor. The City Center Square facility provides space for both performing and visual artists (visual artists occupy small, private studios; performing artists share the use of a large, open rehearsal space that includes a platform stage and Marley floor), making for an environment conducive to cross-disciplinary collaboration and exchange. In addition to City Center Square, UCP’s Studio Residency Program also provides space to visual artists at pARTnership Place, 906 Grand, 13th floor.

The studios are granted to selected artists for one year terms. No full time students will be considered.
