Hi folks, it's us here at Visual Communications... whew! Things are sure
hectic preparing for the 16th edition of VC FILMFEST, and we still haven't
sent you all the line up of Asian international features we promised last
week. But send them we will, and we do hope you'll make it out this coming
week and support our artists.

In the meanwhile, we want to share with you the slate of filmmaker seminars
on tap for the weekend at DGA, May 19 and 20. As important as watching the
movies are, it's important to hear what the filmmakers have to say, and
through these panels we hope to promote a dialog that will get folks thinking
about not only the "how" of filmmaking, but the "why" as well.

Ticket prices are $10 per single seminar; or any three for $25. C'mon now,
compared to other seminars that cost triple digits, you can't beat these
prices with a baseball bat! So, do plan on joining with us. Call (213)
680-4462 x59 to order; or come to the Box Office at the DGA when we open for
business on Saturday, May 19. Hope to see you at one of these events. And
as always, please feel free to share this info with all your online friends.
