Superhero Creator To Speak at Trade Forum
Stan Lee, superhero creator of Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Daredevil and The Fantastic Four is to give a special talk about his career in animation at the Vancouver Film and Television Trade Forum on 24 September.
The event is the highlight of the annual four day Trade Forum, which also includes seminars and panels on different aspects of movie-making, from script-writing to organising international co-productions, pitching ideas to pleasing the critics.
In this year's New Filmmakers' Day, on 27 September, panels will take stock of the impact of the digital revolution, offer advice on marketing for producers, and consider ways of financing low-budget (C$750,000/£335,000) features. In "Success Stories" David Gordon Green, writer/director of All The Real Girls, and Gary Winick, director of Tadpole, will talk about how they found distribution for their films without sacrificing their artistic vision.
