Week 2

Week two was very interesting. I would like to thank special guest attendees Teresa, and Chad, of the movie production, "HAUNTING KIRA", as well as all others who attended. We would also like to thank our host Ihop.

We enjoyed a very frank discussion on the marketing of movies, as well as other works of art. We also touched on the versatility of production when it comes to creating a marketable product. You could call it," Zen, and the Art of Pleasing the Money Man.". Believe me we tend not to be so mercenary; however, when marketing your product it is key that the artist learn not only his market demographic, but the marketing
techniques that will get the sale, and the paycheck. First it is important to know yourself, and the art you enjoy, and want to produce. Because; you must know what you are taking to market, to be a success at marketing. In todays economy it is important to remember, art skills cannot be limited to the drafting board, but must be honed in the marketplace as well.
