Segovia Solutions on "Glocal Tales" forum this Saturday

I was invited to talk about Segovia Solutions at "GLOCAL Tales - Global Markets for Local Creations" on Saturday, 2-4pm at the CMC Auditorium." I am a bit excited and scared to meet experts on film, animation, comics and gaming from the US. This includes one of the founders of Pixar and the man behind the marketing of Tintin.

I hope you could drop by this Saturday! :)

From UP College of Mass Communication page:

Creative industry experts on film, animation, and gaming from the US will interact and exchange ideas with young Filipino artists on global perspectives on expanding the market of local creations. A selection of creative works will be presented before the open forum.

Huge Turnout

“Wow, this is the hotbed in Asia where superstars are going to come from,” said Marvel senior vice president of creative and creator development C. B. Cebulski, apparently overwhelmed of the 244 Filipino aspiring artists who want to take a shot at the comicbook industry.

Marvel's top talent scout is in Manila not only to recruit pencilers, inkers, colorists and cover artists for Marvel Comics, but also to find concept designers, storyboard artists and animators for their in-house videogame and animation outfit, and their parent company, Walt Disney. Mr. Cebulski said the Mickey Mouse company has adapted Marvel Comics' proactive approach in hiring new employees.

“When I do recruiting, I'm not just recruiting for Marvel. Licensing and merchandising people at Disney will also look at your work,” Mr. Cebulski told comic enthusiasts at National Book Store's Bestsellers.
