As DVD hits its eighth birthday, the home entertainment industry finds itself at a critical juncture. The search for a next-generation, high-definition optical-disc format is in its final stages, with a scheduled launch just months away. And yet at this point there are still two rival formats, Blue-ray Disc and HD-DVD, each hoping to be the standard.

This quest for unity — and the serious ramifications to our business if a single standard is not attained — will be front and center at this year at the Fourth Annual Home Entertainment Summit. This year’s incarnation of the home entertainment industry’s premier annual event promises to again attract the top movers and shakers in the business, from the presidents of the Hollywood studios’ home entertainment divisions to key retailers, Wall Street analysts and members of the media.


They’ll all come for two days of information-packed programming, focused on our industry’s high-definition future.

Some highlights:

NEW THIS YEAR: THE DVD CRITICS’ AWARDS - Honoring the most critically acclaimed DVD releases of the year


The Fourth Annual Home Entertainment Summit is open to the trade only. Advance registrations are $495 for members of DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group and $545 for nonmembers. Readers of The Hollywood Reporter also are entitled to the $495 discounted registration fee.

EVENT REVIEW: HURRELL/LANGDON PHOTO EXHIBIT KICKOFF, MAPLE DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS


by Don Rose

(JUNE 20 - Beverly Hills, CA) One of L.A.'s most popular eateries, Maple Drive, provided the setting for tonight's kickoff event for a new photography exhibit honoring legendary celebrity/glamour lensman, George Hurrell. Also-famous celeb photog Harry Langdon served as host for the reception, which raised money for The Garr Foundation. Guests enjoyed fine wine, cool jazz, and hot food prepared by the always-excellent Maple Drive chefs (highlights included chicken/beef skewers, veggie spring rolls, delectable pizzas and salmon swirls). Attendees were able to peruse and buy Hurrell prints and cards, and view many classic Langdon photos of stars such as Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton, Sugar Ray Leonard, Halle Berry, Cedric the Entertainer and Gabrielle Union (stars of The Honeymooners remake), and more.

Most interesting to compare the genius of Hurrell to that of Langdon. Langdon's large prints pop with vibrant color and his star subjects look the observer right in the eye, whereas Hurrell's black-and-white classics often show Hollywood actors of yesteryear looking away from the viewer (example: his Johnny Weismuller), always framed within an enchanting shadowy composition that led to his well-deserved reputation as the Master of Light and Dark.

To see the photo exhibit, and experience a wonderful meal while you're there, visit Maple Drive Restaurant at 345 North Maple Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210. For more information on their establishment, visit http://www.mapledriverestaurant.com. Reservations: 310.274.9800; Office: 310.274.5927; E-mail: info@mapledriverestaurant.com .

“Create or Die” Act I
Award-winning illusionist Jim McCafferty

10:00 AM OPENING SPEAKER:
Brian Gies, Vice President of Marketing Impact, Burger King Corporation

Mr. Gies will discuss how the BK marketing team has given the brand social currency; the extent to which brand marketers have to “let go” and turn their brands over to consumers; and, the impact of changing media content and consumption dynamics on the ways consumers interact with brands in the 21st century.

10:45 AM STUDIO PANEL (FILM):
What does “going beyond product placement” mean to marketers? How are studios adapting to better partner with brands given the increasing expectations and savvy on the part of brand marketers for co-branded products and services that provide unique messages and interactions with consumers? When is this the best approach for a brand, how can it be measured and what’s next?

11:30 AM REFRESHMENT BREAK

11:45 AM BRAND MARKETER PANEL:
Cost and control are just two of the issues facing brands when they try to integrate entertainment into the marketing platforms. Hear brand marketers discuss the ways in which entertainment is becoming more formalized during planning and activation, and the degree to which entertainment is beginning to assume strategic importance to their respective companies. They’ll also offer suggestions on how other marketers can help their companies understand the value of defining and leveraging an entertainment marketing strategy.

12:30 PM STROLL TO GLOBE THEATRE AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

1:00 PM LUNCHEON KEYNOTE
EMMA AWARDS – Presented by PROMO Magazine by Kathleen M. Joyce, Editorial Director

The EMMA Awards recognize the vital role promotional tie-ins play in the success of entertainment properties and their strategic alliances. The marketers and their entertainment partners who best supported their brands through tie-in promotions in the past year will be honored during this awards ceremony.

Following the EMMA Awards, STAR POWER is pleased to present a keynote address by Avi Arad, Chairman & CEO, Marvel Studios. Hear from the man who’s been the driving force behind Marvel's Hollywood renaissance that includes a track record of eight consecutive number one box office openings, including the "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Blade" franchises, as well as the upcoming "Fantastic Four". Mr. Arad will share his views on how creativity is being affected by the merging of marketing and entertainment, the pros and cons of this growing alliance, and where he sees the opportunities for brand marketers.

2:15 PM TELEVISION PANEL:
With all the talk about the need for TV to get a “better business model” this session will filter out the noise and provide the critical coverage marketers need in order to ensure their signal gets though in this medium. A panel of top execs from the major networks will position your antennae so you’re clear about where the hype ends and the reality starts. Tune in to the Star Power channel on June 14th at 2:15PM to find out.


3:00 PM ADVERGAMING PANEL:
Video gamers are increasing their ranks everyday, so you’re thinking about taking your brand into this virtual world. But, you’re worried about keeping your brand “powered up” long enough to connect with gamers in a meaningful, relevant way. Relax: Our panel of publishers, producers, brands—all of whom play on the “Expert” levels—have the “codes” to unlock this medium’s potential and show you how to best leverage involvement and effectively engage consumers.

3:45 PM REFRESHMENT BREAK

4:00 PM MUSIC PANEL:
It’s no secret that music is one industry where the business model is broken. In the face of non-music brands driving change, how can the industry create a foundation for future relevance and growth? What do the latest deals say about where the industry may be heading? Will they change the way we look at branded entertainment in the music space? Agents, managers, labels and brands discuss new ways to build brands, stay on key and how they plan to keep on rockin’ in the 21st century.


4:45 PM STUDIO PANEL (HOME ENTERTAINMENT):
How is the role of home entertainment evolving? When brands partner with studios in the post-theatrical market, how do they ensure it’s an effort that builds the brand, positively impacts the bottom line and effectively engages the consumer? Given the increasing importance of account-specific promotions--where studios are helping brands build more robust promotions with key retail partners--what’s important to keep in mind when you create the brand-studio-retailer triangle? Attend, press “Play” and learn.

5:45 PM “Create or Die” Table of Death Finale
At the close of the day, Jim will apply the presented techniques to create an on-the-spot promotional concept. But, as is often the case with Jim, there’s a twist. Operating within a “create or die” scenario, he will attempt to develop his winning promotional idea while chained and locked to the Table of Death! As he races against a timer set to release 50 steel spikes onto the table, Jim will truly redefine the term “deadline!”
Jim McCafferty Founder & President of JMP Creative

6:00 PM SCHMOOZE – A- RAMA®
Following the sessions, top off the day at the coolest schmooze-fest around. Meet the players in the industry and gain the insight and contacts you need - all this in an environment of food, fun, refreshments and the best networking around – right on Baker St. outside of the Globe Theatre.

EVENT REVIEW: Jun 12: 17th Annual Vintage Bouquet Charity Wine Auction


by Don Rose

(June 12, 2005 - Beverly Hills, CA) Sunny afternoon, smart friendly attendees, excellent wine, delicious food, fine silent and live auctions, and a marvelous door prize -- all this added up to yet another wonderful Vintage Bouquet Charity Wine Auction, presented every summer by the Barristers of the Beverly Hills Bar Association to fund law-related education and community service projects.

The three hour event took place once again at the historic Greystone Mansion, in the hills of Beverly Hills. Premium wines were poured to match the delectable offerings from top L.A. restaurants.

Some edible highlights: Crustacean's lightly fried crab treats and veggie spring rolls, yum... delicious ravioli from LAX's Encounter Restaurant... pleasing Polenta with Mushrooms from Piccolo Paradiso... Chipotle's mexican food, a hit as always... and Rosti's amazing eggplant and cheese creation. Participating wineries included Niebaum-Coppola, Blackstone Winery, Carina Cellars, Quady Winery, and many more. Non-alcoholic drinks included Fiji Water and the refreshing/healthy trio of Carpe Diem carbonated drinks (in flavors Kefir, Gingko and Kombucha). Musical entertainment was of the jazz variety; silent auctions of rare wines and unique wine packages plus travel packages and dining certificates rounded out the afternoon. Guests were even able to take home some of La Brea Bakery's excellent bread (sourdough or French baguette).

Note: although the BH Bar Association benefits from the event, lawyers and non-lawyers alike attend every year, so don't assume you must be proficient in legalese to attend! Make sure to include the Vintage Bouquet event on your social calendar for next year. You are guaranteed a great time.

JUN 8: Silverlake Conservatory of Music “Hullabaloo” Benefit


Silverlake Conservatory of Music First Annual “Hullabaloo” Benefit Offers a Night of Beautiful Sounds At Edendale Grill on June 8, 2005

(posted by Don Rose)

Los Angeles, CA - The Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a nonprofit music school founded by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea in 2001, will present the first annual "Hullabaloo" fundraiser at the elegant Edendale Grill in Silverlake, on Wednesday, June 8, 2005. From 7:00pm to 11:30pm, attendees at this adults-only event will be treated to a night of special musical performances by Tracy Chapman, Charlie Haden, John Frusciante, Grant Lee Phillips, The Section Quartet and Flea.

The evening will also encompass silent and live auctions to raise funds for the school's operating costs and scholarship program. Hors d'ouevres, a light buffet, and an open bar with spirits, wine, beer and champagne will be served throughout the night. Only 300 tickets will be sold to the fundraiser priced at $200 per ticket or $350 per pair of tickets. All contributions are tax deductible.

The Edendale Grill is located at 2838 Rowena Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90039. Tickets may be purchased in-person at the school, located at 3920 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90029, Monday – Friday from 12noon – 5:00pm. For more information please call 323-665-3363 or visit www.silverlakeconservatory.com .

With a live auction presented by auctioneer Rob Zabrecky and music performed by a host of celebrity musicians, teachers and students, the event is sure to be full of rollicking melodies. The event's name, Hullabaloo, aptly describes the night, but it was chosen to signify the youthful enthusiasm to be heard in the multiplicity of sounds emanating from the school's storefront location on Sunset Boulevard in Sunset Junction. Its waiting room and 8 music classrooms burst with instruments, teachers and students, instruction, discussion, laughter and of course, lots of music. The real beauty of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music (SCM) is what it represents to the students: a future full of the joy of music and the sense of accomplishment felt by those who make it.

Hullabaloo seeks to make possible more of that work as it celebrates the music that results from such energy and enthusiasm. The evening will begin in the Edendale Grill's courtyard at 7:00 starting with performances by teachers and students followed by the special musical guests in and outside the restaurant. The live auction will begin at 9:00pm, and a silent auction will continue throughout the evening, ending at 10:00pm. Performances will conclude with a tribute to the Meters, featuring Flea with Eli Brueggemann and Marc Rey, two teachers from the school.

The auctions will feature donations from several local artists, as well as donations from Suss Designs, Daisy Rock Guitars, Crustacean Restaurant in Las Vegas, NV, Zip Fusion’s new restaurant in West LA, Brook Benson Designs, Erica Courtney Jewelry, tickets to theater and sporting events, CD and DVD baskets, a drum-pad signed by the members of Coldplay, a guitar signed by the Chili Peppers, and a guitar donated by Guitar Center and signed by Neil Young.

The Silverlake Conservatory of Music is thankful for all of the support it has received to produce Hullabaloo. Melanie Tusquellas, co-proprietor of the Edendale Grill, approached the school about hosting a fundraiser at the restaurant and has brought forth Edendale’s considerable connections to help make this event a reality. Bittersweet Lingerie & Butterfly Flowers stepped in to provide flower arrangements for the evening. Food and drink suppliers include Allied Domeneq Wines USA, Bacardi Spirits, Delicato Vineyards, Edendale Grill, Jim Beam Spirits, Mission Beverage, Patron Spirits, Southern Wine and Spirits and Young's Market. Warner Brother Records and Tom Biery are helping to underwrite the event.

The goal of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a community oriented, nonprofit music school, is to provide the opportunity to study music. Born of the resolve of Flea and long-time friend and fellow musician, Keith Barry to fill the void left by cuts to music education programs in public schools, its focus is on the youth of Silverlake. However, children and adults from all over Los Angeles are welcome and encouraged to participate. The two friends who met at Fairfax High School share a love and need for music that was nurtured in Fairfax's music program. Feeling passionately about the benefits of a music education, their desire to give something back resulted in the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. “We believe that the study of music enriches not only the life of the musician, but the community and society as well,” the two founders state.

One of the primary missions of the school is to provide scholarships to children whose families would otherwise be unable to afford instruments and/or lessons. SCM hopes to eventually offer scholarships to more than half the school’s current enrollment of 600 students. Thirty students already benefit from the scholarship program. Hullabaloo will directly help the school expand this program to help fulfill its dream of supporting over 300 students.

The Board of Directors is comprised of Woody Harrelson, Anthony Kiedis and Flea. The dean of the school, Keith Barry, originally hails from New York City. He has lived in LA since 1977 and besides being an alumnus of Fairfax High School, is also an alumnus of Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has been teaching for more than twenty years. He performs on the Viola, Saxophone, Harmonica, Flute and other instruments. He has performed and recorded with Ray Charles, Woody Shaw and others. Jennifer Rey is the conservatory's manager and Joan Sullivan is in charge of financial operations. Sarah Bull, Liz Garo, Jennifer Rey, and Melanie Tusquellas head the event's committee, which is made up of volunteers from the music industry as well as parents and adult students at the school.

Hullabaloo will encompass the spirit of the school, by virtue of the beautiful sounds that are sure to result.
