HELP SUPPORT OPEN SOURCE FILMMAKING – 3 DVD Set of DIY DAYS LA & SF available NOW
We’re happy to announce that we now have a 3 DVD set, over 10 hours of keynotes, panels and case studies that were shot this summer in LA and SF. Since DIY DAYS is part of a larger open source project focused on creating quality resources for the filmmaking community, the DVDs are available for a donation to the project. There are three donation options $10, $20 and $40 – all three will get you the same thing. Special thanks to all the volunteers who helped to make the DVD set possible. And a special thanks to Sabi Creative Agency and Breakthrough Distribution for creating and distributing the DVDs.
