the

cinematography

event of the year

Join 9 world-class filmmakers as they give away their “tricks of the trade” so you too can create superior films, set yourself apart from the competition, and amaze your fellow filmmakers and clients.

As filmmaking continues to explode in both entertainment and education (plus the cost of professional equipment keeps coming down) the industry is becoming more and more competitive. You can no longer “rest on your laurels”… the key is watching what the master filmmakers are doing! And that’s exactly why we created CineSummit, which has become the world’s LARGEST education event for filmmakers with 34,500 attendees expected to attend CS9.
