I'm On A Boat...

When I first started my career in the wedding industry I was, and still am, quite surprised how male dominated it is. I'm still not sure why that is but I'm thrilled to see a new, very unique event that is trying to change that. Reagan Zugelter from Studio + Z Films and Jen Moon from Northernlight Filmworks teamed up to create Posh ~ A Retreat for the Female Filmmaker. I was so excited to hear about this and even more excited that they had time for a little Q + A :)

Q. Tell me a little bit about POSH.

A. POSH is a retreat and educational experience for women event filmmakers and photographers interested in event film. Our mission for POSH is education + inspiration + relaxation so POSH 2010 is taking place on a Bahamas cruise, November 8-12, 2010.

Q. Where did you come up with the idea and what are your goals for this event?

A. We came up with the idea after seeing a conversation one Friday afternoon between several female event filmmakers about having a cocktail while editing. It turned into talking about how we should all meet up. Then Jennifer and I thought why don’t we do this but add in an educational element to it and make it just for women. Our goal is to connect, educate and inspire women as visual artists and business owners.

Q. Why do you think it's important to have an all female event?

A. A lot of women in this industry aren’t as well known. Our vision out of all this is to launch some new women leaders in the industry and see more of them on the EventDV 25, receiving International Awards and heading up their own workshops. This will also hopefully spearhead more women to get into event film.

Q. Nowadays there's a ton of learning seminars/events out there. What makes Posh different?

A. Along with our featured presenters, we are having small discussions between attendees so they have a chance to share and also learn in a more intimate way. We are going to ask the attendees prior to the cruise, what they want to talk about so we can mold the discussions to those topics. Our workshop is going to be more of a grass roots style.
