6:00-7:00 PM Networking
7:00-7:30 PM Discussions of user stories
7:30-7:45 PM Break
7:45-8:15 PM Discussion with creative producers

DESCRIPTION: This month Social Media Club San Francisco / Silicon Valley chapter digs deep on the subject of mobile video: How it’s created, strategically deployed and consumed. The program will be divided into two separate, but related discussions:

Part one, moderated by Chris Heuer, will feature representatives from Technology Providers Qik, JustinTV and our sponsor Real Player SP leading a discussion on how mobile video is really being used. Working to go beyond the hype, the panel will be turned, with the panelists asking questions of the audience and of each other. Getting beyond the hype to what’s really happening and what we really wish was happening. Together we could help shape our own future, collectively discovering new possibilities and exchanging stories of how people are really using mobile video.

After a 15 minute break, Jennifer Lindsay will facilitate a panel of creative video all-stars discussing how they are approaching the changing digital video landscape in an always on, always connected world.

During the second half, our discussion will focus on hearing some stories from the front lines of digital video. Eddie Codel is a pioneering vlogger and producer for GeekEntertainment.TV. Eddie was one of five (5) people from around the world to work on an innovative film project with Spike Lee entirely shot on mobile phone video camera. We will hear what it was like to be a part of such a ground breaking project and what lessons he learned that we can all apply when thinking about our next mobile video shootWe will also be joined by Christopher Coppola, a seasoned film and television director who is also founder and chairman of Project Accessible Hollywood (PAH), a non-profit organization that brings digital empowerment to underserved communities and individuals worldwide. Christopher will discuss PAH Fest, mobile phone films and Cellunovellas and the Latin American market.

Chris, the panel and the audience will solicit questions to stimulate a 3-way conversation. As with the panel, audience members will also be encouraged to share experiences and use cases.
