Event Description
The 2
nd
Annual Florida Film Educators Even Exchange conference is an annual forum for networking,
professional development and communications for Florida’s secondary and post secondary educators in
the film, television and media arts. The goal of this initiative is to increase communications among
education, government, and industry and to foster continued educational and economic excellence in
Florida’s motion picture and video production and distribution industry sector and services allied. Each
panel discussion will feature a mix of educators and industry professionals and will be led by a moderator.
This 2-day event will take place at Palm Beach Community College, in Palm Beach, Florida on April 7 and
8, 2003.
This year’s event will focus on integrating the business side with the creative side of the industry in the
classroom. The importance of student awareness regarding the opportunities in the entertainment
industry sector beyond directing a feature film will be stressed. Many different types of job positions are
necessary to make any type of media: accountants, production managers, entertainment lawyers, talent
agents, location scouts and managers, unit publicists, talent agents, marketing and publicity, script
supervisor...the list goes on. In addition, there are many student organizations that pride themselves in
helping prepare their members for the “Real World of Filmmaking”. We want educators, and in turn their
students, to know about the endless possibilities in the entertainment industry sector.

in the mold of Michael Moore and Nick Broomfield. Chaille uses the medium of film to challenge
stereotypes as well as explore and promote the idea of social tolerance. In Chaille’s first feature length
documentary film,
Party Animals (or how to get to the White House in 5 easy steps
),
he interviewed
future President George W. Bush. This film won national awards and was featured as a special on HBO’s
main service in November 2001. Chaille and his crew recently returned from the mountains of Northern
India. They completed filming a documentary film, titled
Little Monk
, about young boys who leave their
homes, say goodbye to their families, give away all of their toys to go and become Tibetan Buddhist
2
monks. During this film, Chaille interviews the Dalai Lama.
Little Monk
had its world premiere at the
