We are now in the process of taking the next steps in organizing Digital Hollywood for October at the Ritz in Marina del Rey. We added the Board Member ThinkTanks in May – and now we will layer in additional ThinkTank type events, Screening Selection, etc. for October. It will all add up to a Digital Hollywood Festival – but it will happen in stages.

Stage I – please take a look at the outline below.
Committees will be formed that will meet in October at Digital Hollywood at the Ritz. The process for constructing Digital Hollywood as a festival is now in place – and we look forward to hearing your toughts.
We will be creating committees, ThinkTanks, special events, dinners, sponsored events. We will not be able to accept all proposals, but we will give each suggestion serious consideration.
Digital Hollywood is growing -and we look forward to you being a part of it. The Festival – The ThinkTanks – The Committee ideas that we are developing now will be also be used as the basis for our other DH events in New York, CES/Las Vegas, Sundance and by next May – the Festival with full screenings will premier.
