Join CUTV for a remote networking event on gather.town! What’s gather.town? It’s a video-calling space that lets multiple people hold separate conversations in tandem. It utilizes a 2D map reminiscent of a vintage video game that allows attendees to travel from room to room and participate in different video conversations (you can try a free demo here: https://gather.town/app/N8w4L2HdJPrRKEuf/Live%20Walkthrough )
We are creating our own networking town, stacked with industry professionals, to talk to YOU about getting started in the film and video industry. Our guests will be:
