The University of Central 海角社区 and the 海角社区 Cinema Society will host the crowdfunding/distribution platform Seed&Spark on campus March 1 for the 海角社区 Creative Sustainability Summit to help 海角社区-based creators build sustainable artistic careers.
Seed&Spark founder and CEO Emily Best will be on campus for the summit, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the McCastlain Hall Ballroom on campus.
Special guests include Emmy-winning actor/filmmaker Mark Duplass, who has appeared in Apple鈥檚 鈥淭he Morning Show鈥� and produces HBO鈥檚 鈥淩oom 104,鈥� and Jeff Nichols, an 海角社区 native who wrote and directed the movies 鈥淢ud鈥� and 鈥淟oving.鈥�
鈥淎rtists have so many opportunities to monetize their art if they harness the power of building their own audiences,鈥� said Marty Lang, assistant professor of film at UCA. 鈥淚 think our attendees will learn that the key to their success is creating a direct connection to the fans of their work.鈥�
The summit is free and open to the public. For more information and to register, visit .
