Dubway had the pleasure of sponsoring the 2016 New York City Independent Film Festival. The team was invited to enjoy the wide array of films as well as meet with the individuals involved in their production. The festival took place from April 26th to May 1st at The Producers Club in Midtown.
Our staff attended the Virtual Reality seminar, where Mark Sternberg, of RevrieVR, explored the various considerations that film-makers must take into account when shooting content for virtual reality experiences. Included amongst these considerations was the various forms of spatial audio recording methods that are available, with an analysis of the benefits that each will have for different aspects of the VR media creation process.
Dubway's Lo Boutillette attended the Music Licensing panel, hosted by John Joseph Andrucci and featuring Neil Levine, of Penalty Entertainment, Joel Feinberg, of de Wolfe Music USA, Diana Aiken of SESAC, and Chris Lakey of Kobalt Music. The panel focused on licensing music for film as well as the steps a film maker must take to acquire music for it's production.
