December 31st, 2009
We begin our look forward into 2010 by assembling our regular cast of commentators and asking them to dust off their crystal ball and produce some prognostications for their public.
First off is Jessica Sitomer, CEO of The Greenlight Coach, who specializes in helping industry professionals - especially crew - find work. We couldn't think of a better way to start. Jessica is very optimistic about the future - for those individuals that are willing to aggressively start networking and marketing themselves. She provides a wealth of ideas during her interview.
Jonathan Handel joined us many times during 2009 to discuss the on-going travails of SAG (the Screen Actors Guild) and other Hollywood unions. And 2010 is only going to complicate the entire union picture. However, Jonathan is an entertainment and technology lawyer, and we asked him for his insight on upcoming technology. And you'll be surprised at what he says is the hardware technology to watch next year.
2009 was the re-birth of optical media. Blu-ray Discs finally started to find some traction. Whether it will be enough remains to be seen. However, a second trend really took hold - downloading the media you want to watch on whatever device you want to watch it on. This new world of portable media, flexible distribution channels, and a completely fractured distribution system promises to make 2010 a truly exciting year, as Bruce Nazarian, president of the IDMA, explains.
How could we look at a new year without the thoughts of our favorite technology wizard? Philip Hodgetts, CEO of Intelligent Assistance, joins us to discuss the software technology trends we need to watch. From new codecs, to cameras, to software, Philip has opinions on just about all of it.
We wrap up our show with a discussion with our co-host Michael Horton, head of the LA Final Cut Pro User Group, on what editors need to know in the coming year. Is it truly the year where everyone needs to know everything? How do we survive in an era of collapsing budgets? Is collaboration dead? These are some of the ideas that Mike will share his thoughts on.

This is one story you won't want to miss -- the story of Charity Films

Is Advertising Dead? - Philip Hodgetts, CEO, Intelligent Assistance

Philip looks at entertainment, while Larry looks at news and information. It is a rapidly evolving issue, which we will be continuing to discuss in coming weeks.
