As promised at the Reel/Forward Production Conference, LA City Film Czar Steve Kang will join us for a conversation about Hollywood’s future. We’ll discuss the current state of the film industry, Film LA, and what’s next for Los Angeles. There will be a short update from President Kang. Then, there will be time for public commentary. Let’s talk about where the industry is now—and how we shape what’s next. Filmmakers, vendors, and everyone affected by the creative economy are encouraged to show up and speak up. This is a troll free zone.

There is no charge for this event, but a donation would be welcome. Please RSVP below. There is plenty of parking at Arri Americas.
