Anyone who's business takes them to trade shows knows that networking is one of the great benefits of events like PMA, as it brings together a large group of people with like minds and a common interest. During a break in my meetings, I was fortunate to have a brief hallway conversation with a very nice chap named Michael Britt, who recently started a new blog named photocinenews.
To understand what Michael and his group are up to, I've borrowed some copy from his blog's "about" section and brief discourse that we had on the show floor at PMA:
PhotoCineNews is the first blog dedicated to the convergence of photography and video. As photographer’s retool their skill set to this emerging medium, PhotoCineNews is dedicated to delivering the latest news and innovations in this brilliant new genre. This leap forward for the photography industry brings it closer to the gates of Hollywood with the potential for influential short films. With that in mind we deliver news from the movie industry that affects the photocine filmmaker. Along with the PhotoCine Conference and Film Festival, PhotoCineNews is the definitive destination for the filmmaking photographer. Since last August, Michael said they have produced the first Video DSLR conference (The Collision Conference at the LA Film School), and have been actively building this photographer/cinematographer community through a collaborative blog as well as live events and online teaching.
