www.punkmouse.comThe need for queer content is increasing due to the rapid growth of queer-targeted cable channels, television programs, music outlets, film and video festivals, web portals and DVD distributors. In addition, new trends toward short-form mobile and interstitial programming, web streaming and videocasting continue to create an ever-increasing demand for LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly content.
Q-Me Con will feature a wide array of informative panels, ranging from Q & A's with star-studded queer TV casts, to workshops with celebrated queer agents, writers, directors producers and TV & production company executives. Q-Me Con will also feature in-depth forums delving into the "ins & outs" of queer content making, pitching, marketing and distributing. There will also be panels about the state of queer advertising, the role of sex in the media and the power of porn!
