Description
San Francisco is the new Hollywood, for reel. In the last 30 years, movie makers have escaped LA to tap the Bay Area’s technological spring. This was a natural flow, as digital media and laptop prowess are now necessary in the industry. Filmerati followed this trend: we are now home to such industry powerhouses as Pixar, ILM, The Orphanage, Inc., Sam Green, Philip Kaufman, Michael Ritchie, and a few of those Coppolas. This creative surge has put our city on the map for Oscar worthy special effects and sound design. What have this migration and the digital shift in cinema done to shape the future of film? And how are the Bay Area and its leading ladies and men directing the trends? Whether you’re a cinephile or just curious to meet the red carpet character in your own backyard – you’ll want tickets to this blockbuster event.INFORUM is a division of The Commonwealth Club by and for people in their 20s and 30s, with a mission to inspire debate around civic issues.
