The Southeast Creative Summit is returning to Atlanta after a successful inaugural year! In our first year, we had over 100 attendees from 12 states attend nearly 80 workshops over three days. This year we have even more talent on the schedule, including Academy Award winning sound mixer Ed Novick (The Dark Knight, Inception), Emmy Award winning editor Jesse Averna (Sesame Street), editor Zack Arnold (Burn Notice, Glee), and many more notable experts in the production and post- production world.
Atlanta Cutters is a 501 (6) Non-Profit Organization, and we developed this unique educational opportunity to give back to the community and we've reduced the conference costs this year to allow more attendees to come to Atlanta. In the words of last year's attendee Andrew Stern of Comedy Central, I tell anyone who will listen that the Southeast Creative Summit was the best event I've ever attended. I've already purchased my 3 Day pass for 2014!
Our craft-based approach to workshops focuses on the creativity and techniques over the tools, and we feel this sets us apart from most conferences available. Attendees can learn concepts and ideas that can be applied to any camera or non-linear editing system and talk in terms of creative choices rather than brand loyalty. We feel this helps us focus on what really matters: keeping your skills sharp for the future.
