Thank you
// November 20th, 2009 // LA
Thanks to everyone who came out to DIY DAYS LA last night. To the speakers who took the time to share their knowledge to the audience members who stepped up to the open mic and to the Downtown Independent Theater for hosting the event. And a very special thanks to all the volunteers who made the evening possible. DIY DAYS events are FREE because the community pitches in their time and talents! Over the next week we'll be working to bring the talks online. For now make sure to checkout the conference dashboard which captured the evening from a variety of angles - bookmarks, tweets, photos, and blog posts.
NEXT DIY DAYS EVENT: In the coming weeks we'll be making an announcement about the next DIY DAYS event. If you'd like to see DIY DAYS come to your city drop us an email at work [@] workbookproject dot com

WHAT IS DIY DAYS?
DIY DAYS - fund :: create :: distribute :: sustain
How do we sustain ourselves as storytellers in this day of shifting distribution systems? How do we monetize our work and get the word out? Presented by WorkBook Project - DIY DAYS aims to answer these questions with a day of panels, roundtable discussions and workshops: A look at how to fund, create, and distribute and sustain.
TARGET AUDIENCE Anyone wanting to make creative work - film, music, games, art. Self-identified Independent storytellers, Creatives and Tech-philes.
THE EVENT The day flows through a mix of both structured and free form activities to encourage open discussion and the opportunity to break into groups and get everyone talking to each other.
Proposed Discussion Topics - New Forms of Storytelling - New models of Finance, Production and Distribution - Audience Building & The Audience Becoming Collaborators - War Stories: “What’s The Real Deal?” - Self-Sustaining: what to know when trying to make a living from your art - Case Studies
Open Discussion Topics - What are you working on? What are you looking for? - How do you consume your media? - What needs to change in order for you to sustain?
