July 2008, Orlando, Florida...
It's time to 'Get Connected'!

Two years ago the theme of the ICVM Catalyst Conference was "Get Real". Honesty and authenticity with God, others and ourselves is the only way to experience life and work on firm footing. Last year we took it another step with the theme, "Get Relevant". Once on that firm foundation, we can share with honesty and relevance to those we are touching with our films.

This year, we take the final step with, "Get Connected". We can't do this alone. We need each other. If life is primarily about relationship – and I believe it is – then connecting with people you know and trust can reduce many of the risks that take place in the film world, and can result in some exciting outcomes.

"Get Connected" also carries with it the idea of connecting with God, our Father, who loves us more than we know. It's the only way to truly connect with other. It also carries the idea of connecting with your audience – whether through the creative and production process, but also with the way we market and distribute our films.

So Get Connected. I believe the best way to do that is to attend the 2008 Catalyst Conference in Orlando this coming July. I'd love to talk to you about any questions you might have.
