Questions about the conference? Event Staff will be doing a walkthrough of the event and available to answer any questions you have before the conference begins!
Do you travel globally for photography/cinematography or have you dreamt of doing this?
Have questions about what gear to take or how to pack it? What’s the best way not to get in trouble with the local authorities? Then come join Adventure Cinematographer/Photographer Philip Grossman who will talk about his experiences and insight into “Adventuring Around the Globe.”
Lens Technician and engineer Matthew Duclos of Duclos Lenses provides an overview of checks and procedures for cinema lenses in a rental environment. Whether you're an cinematographer, equipment owner, first AC, or just a fellow lens geek using peer-to-peer rental services or prepping at an LA rental house, you'll gain invaluable knowledge that you can put to use and save yourself time and money on your next project.
