Videos or Webinars of Filmmakers
Connecting global experts with local talents and aspirants is one of MediaFade’s primary goals. MediaFade regularly conducts videos or webinars with “filmmakers.” These filmmakers are practically stakeholders and encompass talent (before the scenes) and those behind-the-scenes in Hollywood and other media industries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. The goal of the videos or webinars of filmmakers is to share reflections, analyses, news, and insights with established filmmakers and 1000s of aspirants. These filmmakers, talents, and stakeholders include agents, producers, writers, directors, assistants, festival directors, and others as needed. Whether you are “established” or aspiring, this page likely has something for you!
Videos and Webinars of Filmmakers: Cross-Cultural Traffic
Another factor is the rising cross-cultural and cross-continental dialogue and technology in the film and television industries. Television and film production are increasingly global with global reach and talents, voices, and stories. There is the Doha Film Institute in Qatar, Imagenation in Abu-Dhabi, and IMAX screens in Saudi Arabia and China. International talent is also permeating and “breaking into” Hollywood, such as Egyptian actor Rami Malek, Egyptian actor Rami Yousef, Jordan actor and producer Waleed Zuaiter, Jordanian director Cherien Dabis. Chinese actors are also making a splash, such as actress Michelle Yeoh and Lucy Alexis Liu, actor Ke Huy Quan, actor Jackie Chan, and others. This is also not to mention the many established Hispanic actors, actresses, and directors, such as Alejandro Innaritu, Robert Rodriguez, Emmanuel Lubezki, and many others!
A Chance in the Videos or Webinars of Filmmakers: International Learning
The videos and webinars of filmmakers showcase the many aspects of the industry as in learning, success examples, common pitfall from the aesthetic or the industry fronts, the rising frequency of cross-continental collaboration, and others. The goal is ideally inspiration. The videos and webinars seek to build a bridge of learning and enrichment for aspirants in the United States, Egypt, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Media production and storytelling are becoming increasingly multi-cultural and cross-continental. The videos or webinars are snippets of the complexities, realities, and competencies in film production in a way that educates, informs, and ideally inspires and makes the industry tangible and “realistic” for you as an aspirant. With Latin American filmmakers increasing in the Los Angeles area, the robust television industry in Lebanon, and the leading film and television industries in Egypt, the media production sector is witnessing rapid globalization and cross-cultural and cross-continental traffic. You as a “filmmaker” stand to gain and MediaFade is here to help!
