OVERALL HELPFUL INFO and GOAL:
With many nearby small and large cities doing similar things successfully there's a lack in Clarksville and nothing quite like this. With alot of talented individuals in this and surrounding areas, we strive to connect people looking for services with those that provide it in a physical presence to the entertainment world. Plus, connect buyer and seller of original design-to-finish Artwork and Awareness to unique events.
So, indie film makers may find a Makeup artist and Musician for their production. A newly engaged couple could hire the same for their wedding. OR find that next One-of-a-kind art for your home. Get booked or book someone for a gig. (its happened to me)AND simply Network and Learn from others in that field, build Awareness, and promote Learning Opportunities.
LEARNING OP: All artists have that secret thing that separates them. At UOFX we have been blessed to with opportunities to promote exactly what we do and we enjoy the experience seeing that growth in srtists of any age. So to promote learning outside just the mask and FX world, we'd appreciate every vendor to offer An INFORMATIVE HANDOUT into your particular trade. Don't have to give away your secrets. A generalized introduction on even a small quarter sized or notecard sized piece of paper will do. There's nothing like hearing that you've contributed to a young artists personal venture and growth.
NOTE for SELLERS**[in order to maximize sales we will limit the number of similar type vendors. For example; 3D printing has become HUGE in the film industry for its uses as well it's near unlimited use for everyday life items. If (2) 3d print businesses apply but they have very different products, Great!! If its alot of the same types of things is when we'll have to filter applications.] & For ALL; 75% or more must be made by you to limit amount of resale merch. Who hasn't been to an event where many booths had the same items? It can effect overall personal sales at the event, cause recall issues for post- event sales, even sometimes issues we'd like to avoid.
MONSTER MUSEUM: self-paced walkthrough display of original and well-known characters ranging from folklore and cinematic favorites and other interesting artifacts. Also there will be interesting facts, first hand examples, video tutorials, and paper handouts sharing and promoting learning around the FX world. (Separate area from convention floor)
