Personal Branding: Be Yourself

November30

A great video from this past DIY DAYS in LA talks about self-branding, entrepreneurship as well as some lessons learned from recording every minute of your life and putting in on the web for all the world to see.

“As content creators of all kinds strive to build fan bases and cultivate audiences for their work, many are finding that their best promotional vehicle is themselves. Micki Krimmel (Mickipedia,NeighborGoods.net) and Marc Horowitz (Google Maps Road Trip, National Dinner Tour) discuss the benefits and pitfalls of creating an online cult of personality. How to develop an online persona, issues of privacy, and extending your own persona into other work are discussed.”

Film Festival Secrets!

November11

While I have been doing some brainstorming on how I am going to take a small, unknown and unloved film festival and fix it, I was recently refereed to this website by Chris Holland “FILM FESTIVAL SECRETS“.

A great guide that I will know read myself! I have so much to learn!

Slightly Overexposed Productions expanded is Stacey Burgay. It’s BUR-gay (sadly no sexy French accent).

Slightly Overexposed Productions was founded with the intention of creating and sharing good stories in 2001. Since then it’s been an incubator for my countless ideas and the title as to which I have worked under for various freelance projects over the years.

I started my professional career as a Production Assistant on Jane Campion’s “IN THE CUT”. Yes, that’s the one where Meg Ryan gets naked. From there, I moved on and worked my way up the experience ladder from PA to Production/Post Production Coordinator to Associate Producer to occasional Editor. I have both corporate (Elm City Communications) and broadcast experience (MTV/VIACOM/USA Networks) and have been told on several occasions that I’m a pleasure to work with! Reliable, resourceful, deadline driven and a sense of humor to boot! Which comes in handy during hectic production schedules.

Taking a break from making short form videos for Web (iMentor, The Knot, Culture Catch) and TV, this past year I was one of the organizers for Tropfest NY. I coordinated all aspects of the event from the Film Submissions to the Event Staging to the VIP party. I also worked closely with the General Manager in securing Sponsorship and AD Sales.

I have also programed several film series (Love Actually, Animated Tales, Food N Film and A Day That Matters) for a private screening room in NYC. I love that I get to share great stories and promote local NY Independent Filmmakers.

My latest accomplishment is launching a film festival here in the US called Art By Chance. I partnered with the festival to help bring their International festival to New York, Boston and San Francisco. I secured a US Screening Sponsor, managed online and print marketing. In addition to this, I also organized the main screening in New York, in which I screened all the films and invited musicians to create impromptu soundtracks to the films live.

I’m always open to new projects and possible collaborations.
