Predicting the Future for the Arts

and Access Sacramento 

 

On Stage with Top NY Organizations
Lincoln Center - Tribeca - Made in NY 

   

In a unified conference for Arts and Media organizations this week in Philadelphia, Access Sacramento Executive Director Gary Martin will be speaking about the future for media arts centers, joining representatives from three prestigious organizations from New York: The Film Society of the Lincoln Center, the Tribeca Film Institute and the Made in NY Media Center from IFP.

Executive Director Gary Martin
 

The panel session Thursday is part of the "State and Main 2014" Conference in Philadelphia that begins tomorrow.  The series of meetings are for the joint national conventions sponsored by The Alliance for Community Media and The National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture.

  

The panel will focus on new technologies, distribution methods and being prepared for the 2020's.

 

Joining Martin on the panel are: the Associate Director of Community Engagement from the Made in NY Media Center from IFP, the Independent Filmmaker Project, the Director of Digital Platforms from the Film Society of the Lincoln Center, and the Director of Digital Initiatives from the Tribeca Film Festival.

 

The group will offer advice on what tomorrow's arts media centers should look like and how to meet the challenges of that technological mandate.  

 

Look for news from the conference on the Access Sacramento Facebook and Twitter feeds all this week.

Sacramento's New Low-Power FM 

 

RFP Due Date August 10
 

Access Sacramento released a Request For Proposal last week, requesting artists and companies to provide a price quote for creating a new Logo design for KUBU-LP 96.5 FM.

The full RFP instructions are available HERE.

 

A committee of Access Sacramento's Board of Directors will review the proposal and offer the work to the top bidder, although being the lower price isn't an automatic winner since the committee will be reviewing a minimum of three previous logo designs from each respondant before making a decision.

A Place Called Sacramento Filmmakers

 

"Hope and Prey" & 
"The Charismatic Man"

This week LiveWire! is happy to welcome two more Filmmakers from A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival. This is week 2 of the 6 week series.

 

 

 

Karen Orcutt wrote and Produced "Hope and Prey" for PCS Film Festival. Karen and her brother Bill wrote and produced "The Players" last year for the festival. This is Karen's second year as a winner. Her film "Hope and Prey" follows a family man and his journey after returning home from the war and trying to learn how to be a husband and father again in the civilian world.

 

"The Charismatic Man" was written and Produced by Tony Carrillo Rodriguez. He is a high school student and entered A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival and won. His film is still in the production phase and he is seeking some help from you. The story is about a gentleman piano player at a crossroads in life. If he chooses the wrong path it could lead to his life stagnating and if he chooses the alternate path it could lead to the unknown and uncertain place. He has to make a decision and find out what destiny has in store for him.

Veteran Access Producer Passes

Sharon Durette: The Gospel Lady 

  

It is with deep regret and condolences that Access Sacramento takes this time to acknowledge the passing of a dear series producer, our very own Gospel Lady, Sharon Durette.

 


Sharon first started producing programs with Access in March of 2005, and through her determination and perseverance retired with nearly three hundred television productions to her credit.  As a television producer, Sharon made all of the efforts to have her programs on our public access channel, as well as streaming worldwide.
 
The focus of her television series, "The Gospel Lady", was to share her life experiences with the Lord through scripture-based instruction and prayer.  During breaks in producing programs here at Access, she would often stop you in the hallways, take hold of your hand, and pray with and for anyone in need.  Though she had many personal challenges, she enjoyed taking the time to bring her small puppy into the Main Office to lighten the mood and brighten our day!
 
She will be always loved and dearly missed here at Access Sacramento!

 
  
  Thank you for your support.
