Meeting Speaker Laura DiMeo
We’re waiting to learn Laura’s exact presentation title, but we know it will be highly informative about lighting, photography, and include stories about her many production gigs. She’ll open the floor to your Q and A. Just exactly what does a “Best Boy” do on a set? What is the difference between a Gaffer and Rigger?
