There is one way to overcome this nervous feeling: Replace it by the real pleasure of feeling well prepared for sharing your story with the others. Sibylle will introduce you to her idea of combining the five key elements Status, Motivation, Intention, Theme and Visual Approach in a personal and strong presentation. An idea is one thing. Now you have to sell it!

‘Meet me on Insta’ 

Cassius Rayner – Meet and greet the prof!
I am Cassius Rayner and started professionally as a camera operator in 1995, directed my first short drama in 1997 starring pop icon Adam Ant. During this time I worked on documentaries, music videos, news and drama. In addition to this I spent time overseas as a camera operator for UNOPS (United Nations) based in various places. Since 2014 I stopped using main stream cameras and turned my attention to the possibilities of mobile phones. For the last 7 years I have only filmed professional content using a mobile phone and the filmic pro app. Filming documentaries in South America, Africa, Hong Kong and Europe. Ive worked in fashion, brand content projects in the USA, and was very fortunate to also spend time with volunteer medical teams in countries where it is difficult to film and so using mobiles was key in the production of the stories. My website http://www.gofilmit.tv

Point of U is a new Antwerp film festival with one goal in mind: Bringing young – rookie & pro – filmmakers, YouTubers, Instagrammers, TikTokkers, vloggers and online video content freaks together to experiment and brainstorm about the future of cinema. Video content is no longer only made in Hollywood with expensive gear by large production houses. But also just by you with your smartphone at home in your room or with your friends in the city. The kick off of Point of U happened through a competition with Samsung, in which Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were the curators. Twenty young content creators were immersed in the world of smartphone videography. Or also: young people, supported by a series of workshops, make a (short) film with a smartphone. The final winner was chosen by a jury including the well-known director duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. More than 350 interested young people registered and 20 young people were sent During Point of U in De Studio for three days you can go for Talks, DIY Workshops, & Screenings on a big screen! Meet likeminded creatives & Just do your thing!
