    Don’t miss this one!  Come hear and learn about the “virtual” future of film and television production … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clnozSXyF4k

    Can Sarasota County lay claim to a healthy share of this revolutionary, expanding business model of production?  Will “real locations” become less and less a part of the movies and television programs you watch, without you even knowing it?  How much is real and how much is illusion over greenscreen? 
     
    Darren Frankel, President - Stargate Studios ( http://www.stargatestudios.net/page.php?section=4 )  will be our special guest, hosted by University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee in their Selby Auditorium, at a reception on Tuesday, August 17th from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.  Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided, and you’ll have the opportunity to hear from the President of one of the world’s leading digital effects companies, whose credits include HEROES, 24, GREY’S ANATOMY, UGLY BETTY, ER, CSI NYC, DEFYING GRAVITY, TRAUMA, and many others!
