Jason McKee, director of the film "Lady Luck" - shown at Reel Spokane and featured at SPiFF will be speaking. He'll bring along a couple of members of his crew.

Jason writes: I started working at movie theaters when I was 16 and also went to community college for a stint but I didnt really have any major qualifications within the movie biz so I just went to NXNW every other week with the same resume that every 19 year old has. After they had about 8 of my resumes they decided I was persistent enough so they hired me as a PA. at that time they were only hiring college grads as PA's so I was up against them. I worked for a few years doing that and made way up to 2nd 2nd AD. After working in other areas outside of the movie business for a while I made my first film. it showed at a local film festival and a few people from NXNW saw it there and the next day hired me full time at NXNW. I have been working there for over 3 years full time now and almost 10 years off and on.

This Special Interest Group sub-branch of KNIFVES will focus on composing music for film, but the music can be any style.

We are looking for composers, songwriters, lyricists, technicians, recording engineers, Video and Film editors, promoters, legal advisors and anyone interested in promoting the creation and use of new music for film and video soundtracks and any other commercial purpose.

Generally the meetings will consist of members playing live or recordings of their new creations for critique by other members and seeking input and advice from others on creating and promoting the music we create either individually, or jointly so that it can be heard by the public, particularly through film and video music soundtracks.

If you have any questions, contact Gary A. Edwards 208 699-0848, gedward@roadrunner.com.
