Lorne Lanning to speak at the Greenlight Summit

[Sekto Springs]

Being a member of ConceptArt.org, I got this email.

We are pleased to announce a new kind of ConceptArt.Org workshop: The Greenlight Summit! Check out the speaker list below!

The industry has changed rapidly. Opportunity for creative artists and the dreamers who make art and entertainment has never been better. What is it going to take to be the most successful we can be? How can we see our creative dreams realized? How can we get better at what we do? How do we get funding? How do we build our business? What else can we do to improve our skills?


Check out who is joining us to answer those and a thousand other questions! These are just 40 of the 100 speakers coming to help and inspire us all.

I'll be watching. How bout you?

[OANST]

Well, that should be uninformative, and infuriating.

[Manco]

Well, that should be uninformative, and infuriating.

So you’ll be tuning in then?

[Sekto Springs]

Well, that should be uninformative, and infuriating.

Personally I'm fascinated by artistic industries. I love when these guys get together and talk about their experiences in the field, be it video games or movies. I'm hoping I learn something.

[OANST]

I would probably find it very interesting if it wasn't Lorne talking. Because he doesn't talk. He says words, they don't mean anything.

[Sekto Springs]

You really hate that Lorne fellow.

[OANST]

I honestly can't stand listening to him talk. I'm sure he's a very nice person, but as a personality who is somewhat in the public eye, I fucking hate him.

[sheridanm962]

I honestly can't stand listening to him talk. I'm sure he's a very nice person, but as a personality who is somewhat in the public eye, I fucking hate him.

Now I'm starting to doubt weather or not I should meet you guys in person, I might be dead in a matter of seconds with only a bunch of you

[Wil]

I'm a bit concerned that you were thinking about meeting any of us in person.

[Nate]

Now I'm starting to doubt weather or not I should meet you guys in person, I might be dead in a matter of seconds with only a bunch of you

I'm a bit concerned that you haven't yet grasped the concept of 'on-topic'.

[moxco]

Except from the occasional interview, what are Lorne and Sherry actually doing now that JAW is maintaining the franchise? XMOBB? What happened to your interview Nate?

[Nate]

Sigh. It's coming.

[STM]

It may be coming, but will we ever see it?
