Ryan A. Conklin will be a participant at the 2010 GI Film Festival in Washington, D.C. The festival celebrates "the successes and sacrifices of the American military through the medium of film." Ryan will be a guest blogger for GIFF, covering the events during the run of the festival (May 11-16). Located at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, GIFF "will present films from new and established international and domestic filmmakers that honor the heroic stories of the American Armed Forces and the worldwide struggle for freedom and liberty."
In addition to his role as guest blogger, on Friday Ryan will be attending a day-long GIFF seminar/workshop on filmmaking. The event will cover film financing, distribution, marketing and film pitching. It will also give attendees the chance to network with Hollywood insiders. It will be a good learning opportunity for Ryan Conklin, a film studies major at Temple University.
