Post New York Alliance Podcast

Post Break: Remote Workflows, New Horizons (Audio)

New York State Post Production Community,

Now that working remotely has become commonplace, what are the broader effects on our industry going to be? This panel will move beyond the tools of remote work to examine:

• The pros and cons of managing teams remotely.
  

• The changing role of the post-PA, and what new skills are now in demand.

• Whether post-production teams will become global, how that could facilitate work with previously unreachable clients, and what implications that could have for tax credits.

• How the need for data security affects everything.

Thursday, December 3rd at 4pm EST via ZOOM
Following the discussion we will be forming smaller networking "breakout rooms". A continued chance to meet and greet, expand your network!
