In LA this week? Check out this year's edition of the DIY Convention, a how-to event about creating, promoting, protecting and distributing independent film, music and books. The three-day gathering helps artists, writers, filmmakers and musicians lean how to "make a living, not a killing," — in other words, do it for themselves. $85 gets you into all three days of events, including the big opening night bash (tonight).
The fourth annual DIY Convention: Do It Yourself in Film, Music & Books will be held Feb. 5-7 in Hollywood. The grand finale of the DIY Music and DIY Film Festivals will be augmented by a full day of panels, workshops and speeches by some of the cutting-edge leaders of independent film, music and books.
Happens in Hollywood today through Saturday. Panelists, schedule, and more details here: Link
