Week 8 - Seventh Inning Stretch


Okay, so there is only two weeks until the event, and everyone is rising to the challenge and feeling the heat. I have been busy with all my projects, so I don’t feel as much pressure, as I only have a few blogs to do. I guess I will feel useful on the day of the event, because I get to assist Steven with interviews. I spent the last week (every spare moment that I had) creating a slideshow for my V4 presentation. It took longer than I thought, because I had to find DVDs with footage of Alice Guy’s films, I had to copy them, edit clips, render them, and put them in a format that PowerPoint didn’t hate. I am very happy with how it turned out. I have written a script to guide me through the presentation, so I am just trying to work it down to the time. I need to check on it, but I think we have 20 minutes per speaker. I think they were 15 minutes last year, but I think we have 20 this year, because the block is 90 minutes, we have 4 presenter, and 10 minutes for Q&A. I will make sure next Wednesday. I cannot wait to share the amazing career of a woman who blazed a trail (unfortunately it wasn’t followed for decades) for women in the industry. I hope that one person will walk away with the desire to create, because then I will have done my job.
