New Media Film Festival is pleased to announce its newest program New Media Film Festival-SF Bay Area, Friday, November 5 & Saturday, November 6 at VizCinema in Japantown, San Francisco.   This event brings together Industry Professionals and Content Creators across Film, TV, Games, Publishing, Mobile, Web and Technology.  We’re presenting The Best in New Media - What’s New, What’s Next and honoring stories worth telling in emerging platforms.  Our premiere event that took place in Los Angeles in June 2010 was a great success and therefore we’re very excited to bring the event to SF Bay Area with an expanded program to embrace its unique blend of technology and creative talent.   Our program includes Short Film, Mobile, Games, Web, iApps, Animation, Socially Responsible Content (SRC), Technology Platforms, and New Film Technologies. Screenings include Sundance, Cannes, Los Angeles and World Premieres as well as the best local SF Bay Area talent working in New Media.     Panel discussions and demos will highlight topics on New Technology, Financing & Monetization, the Convergence of Media and where Traditional Media meets New Media.   Programming is already underway with a variety of industry professionals, thought leaders and creators representing today's leading companies in Entertainment, Media and Technology.    This event is made possible by the support of members of our community.  We appreciate your interest to see how participating in this event can best serve your needs and further your agenda in this cross-media space.  We have a wide reach and a first class production team putting this event together.  As a participating company or organization we look forward to discussing how we can maximize your involvement.   CONFIRMED SUPPORTERS, SPONSORS, SPEAKERS: Producers Guild of America, NATPE - National Association of Television Programming Executives, WGA New Media, IAWTV - International Academy of WebTV, San Francisco Writers Conference, SF Film Commission SF Film Society, Industrial, Light & Magic, Pixar, Summit Entertainment, Creative Convergence, United Talent Agency, Motorola, IndieGoGo, CableReady, Bay Books, Select Services Films Inc, SellYourTVConceptNow.com, Credit the Edit, Movieset.com   Event Details: www.newmediafilmfestival.com Susan Johnston, Founder & Director Philippa Burgess & Brad Kushner, Co-Directors of New Media Film Festival-SF Bay Area
