SPRINGFIELD, MO (October 1, 2008) – Springfield’s first MOTION MEDIA EXPO will be held at the Keyes Art Gallery, 229 South Market Avenue, Friday, October 10th, 8:00 to 11:00 PM.

This Motion Media Expo has been organized for producers, directors, filmmakers, composers, writers, designers, talent and a host of supporting services to the film industry. Green Glass Productions’ producer Jonna Volz-Howes has purposed to create a networking and sales environment for independent and production businesses in the region by putting them all in the same room. “Here they can sell themselves as employees or employers of productions companies by showcasing their portfolios and skills,” says Howes. “We want to bring together a diverse group of people in an artistic and comfortable environment and entertain them with music and a fashion show, offering food and beverages as well.”

Registration is required for Businesses and Individuals who desire to be in the MFAS’ film Directory and to be showcased by displaying their marketing tools via print and digital formats at the Expo. Details and costs for registration can be seen at www.greenglassproductions.net. Deadline for business entries is October 6, 2008. For non-registrants, there will be a cover charge of $10 at the door.

Steve Olson, president of the Missouri Film Alliance Springfield, says, “We are excited to be working with Jonna Howes and Green Glass Productions in their efforts to bring this Motion Media Expo to Springfield. We have witnessed significant growth over the last four years in the community of filmmakers and supporting organizations in the Southwest Missouri region. The Expo will play an important role in developing a comprehensive film directory of the talent and services in our community. And, the directory is a critical marketing tool for MFAS as we continue to promote the benefits of filming in Southwest Missouri.” The MFAS office will manage the ongoing maintenance of the Directory. October marks the fourth anniversary of the founding of MFAS.

Music talent scheduled to perform during the evening include Cornbelt Chorus, Rhett Roberson, Lyal Strickland, and Jeremy Larson.

A Fashion Show will also be presented by local designers and wardrobiers Cross Rags, Jacqueline’s, Vintage Vice, and more.

Green Glass Productions, founded in 2008 by Jonna Volz-Howes, is registered with the State of Missouri, business address is PO Box 905, Springfield MO 65801. Fax number is 417-865-3191.

The Motion Media Expo is a cooperative event with sponsorship from MFAS and Stonegate Creative Group.

I work in the film industry, as a set lighting technician. When I’m not schlepping cable or burning my fingers I’m one of those seemingly ubiquitous independent filmmakers (when I can find some sucker nice person to give me enough money), but until I sell something the big movies pay the bills. I like my job – it’s never the same thing two days in a row, and its always interesting, even on the days it’s not easy.

Yes, I did go to college. A good one. Yes, I am wasting my education. Although I shouldn’t be okay with this, somehow it doesn’t bother me. Now. Wait until I turn 40 and that mid-life crisis really gets some momentum and then we’ll see.

I’m female, I live in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, with a cat who tolerates my presence as long as I keep the food bowl full, and in my spare time I conjugate irregular French verbs, work in my garden, and roam the city taking photos of abandoned couches, which can be seen on the Abandoned Couches blog. I also write the occasional article for LAist and some of those paper publications.

My knees went to shit a few years back and I can’t run anymore, but I do like to ride my bicycle and swim. Not at the same time, though.

Peggy Archer is a nom de plume, and I’ll thank you to keep any guesses at the real name to yourselves.

Members of the media who are seeking clarification about some of those weird job titles are welcome (and encouraged) to contact me and ask any questions. Please contact me. If you use the phrase “all the gaffers” one more time I’m going find the cutest puppy I can and kick it. Repeatedly. Do you want that on your conscience? I didn’t think so.

All of you who said you wanted to help….now’s your chance. We are scheduled to shoot throughout August, detailed times are in the works. Here are some early opportunities!

August 3rd:
we will shoot at KAI downtown on Campbell from around 2pm -11pm. CREW will be needed the whole time, EXTRAS will be needed at different times throughout the shoot.

So if you like dressing up and looking your best, come on down! we also need a few waiters and a hostess.
