"We're very proud and excited to bring our Tenth Anniversary SuperMeet celebration in 2011 to a close in Boston, home to key players in our industry such as Avid and Autodesk, Boris FX, EditShare, GenArts, Noise Industries and others," states Daniel Bérubé, SuperMeet co-producer and founder of BOSFCPUG. "Think of the Boston SuperMeet as the creative networking gala for Boston area and New England filmmakers to come together to share in conversation about where the industry is headed. We don't care what tools you use to share your stories, our focus is to inspire and empower digital content creators to action."
