10×10: Community Feedback for Mediamakers
by Nooshin Navidi,
BAVC Development Associate
A couple of weeks ago BAVC held a work-in-progress “screening” of media projects from 10 BAVC fiscal sponsors and members. Each maker was allotted ten minutes of presentation/screening time and ten minutes of feedback time. As BAVC Director of Creative Programming Wendy Levy announced at the beginning of the night, the presentations were not meant to dig into the nit picky details of a person’s project, but really serve as a sort of “speed dating” for filmmakers — a time for quick, generous and substantive comments from fellow mediamakers. Judging by the great turnout and the quality of feedback shared throughout the evening, it seems as though this event is well on its way to becoming a regular event for members here at BAVC. In an era where technology has made working at home alone in the dark easier and easier, creating time and space to share projects with other makers and viewers face to face can be invaluable in shaping tight and engaging media masterpieces.
