The UrbanFire Binge Radio TV & Film Festival

We begin the whole conference series with a candid look at where we are now. With ugliness comes opportunity! Outside, the live radio broadcasts will be conducting Business spotlights including all of our vendors. Come out and learn more about how radio and TV should be working for us. The businesses in our community are 100% of awesomeness!

Part 2 - The Workshop: Due to the media industry positioning our businesses to fail, this conference focuses on the problems that persist in our communities that we now have the opportunity to address. Our analysis approach is based on the State of the Community Manifesto. We are going to learn how to network with one another based on that Manifesto. No excuses. All gas, no brakes..

Specifically for content producers, this discussion focuses on the best methods of producing and delivering radio, TV and film content to geo-fence and global audiences.

The UBRTF’s GroupTherapy Symposium, sponsored by KOTF TeleRadio Network Inc, is a national search to identify outstanding comedic talent. People who demonstrate a natural ability to be funny! People who have a knack for Healing Hearts with Laughter. This is not a competition. It is a networking symposium that identifies talent and business representatives who are interested in expanding their business via the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce by way of supporting the talent behind African media.

The KOTF UrbanFire Screenplay Symposium 2023 is meant to encourage and promote the production of creative, contemporary, engaging and relatable screenplays that we will turn into original movies for television. The symposium is meant to:

• Encourage filmmakers to offer a fresh perspective and submit contemporary stories with a focus on the African American cultural experience with wide audience appeal.

• Encourage filmmakers to creatively center around entertaining, heart-felt and relatable topics that resonate and appeal to African American audiences.

• Expand upon the genres/formats that tell these entertaining stories. Genres include, but are not limited to comedies, romantic comedies, dramas, and family adventures (submissions should be non-period stories).

This is not a competition. It is a networking symposium that identifies talent and business representatives who are interested in expanding their business via the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce by way of supporting the talent behind African media. People compete when there’s a limited supply of a prize. There is plenty of the prize with KOTF TeleRadio Network.

Are you an aspiring actor ready to get to work? Have you been waiting to set your acting career into motion? HERE’S YOUR CHANCE. In association with the KOTF TeleRadio Network, Inc., UrbanFire Radio-Television & Film Festival presents That StarFire Symposium Open Call Monologue Showcase! Here is what the five points of our star represents.

Charisma. Even if you're not going to be playing a leading role in the media, there's still a certain charisma every producer wants to see. Whether you're working as a security guard or a vice president, having a certain likability will help grease the wheels of getting work done and keeping everyone happy.

Integrity. How many times has a celebrity gone off the deep end right before his or her movie comes out? Media producers aren't the only ones who have to worry about the behavior of their crew and cast members. All producers want to know that you're going to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner. Make sure you don't tell any lies in your interview or on your resume. Even a relatively benign half-truth could cost you the role.

Work ethic. The most successful actors aren't always the most talented. Instead, they are the ones willing to put in the hard work at the expense of all else within reason. Make sure your future producer knows that you have a strong work ethic, too.

Versatility. No actor wants to be pigeonholed in the same the kind of roles over and over again. And no producer wants a worker who's a one-trick pony. In any organization, there are times when you need to be on standby as the understudy for another member of the team. In your next role casting, make sure you convey how many different roles you can play and your willingness to jump in where needed.

The look. You don't have to have superstar looks to get a role, but you do need to look like you care about your appearance. It doesn't matter what business you're in. The truth is, looks count. Make sure your clothes are clean and up-to-date. Make sure your shoes are polished and well cared for. Make sure your hair is cut and your nails are clean. You might not think it matters, but it does.

The 3rd of the UrbanFire Binge Pay2SEE Concert Series, we will enjoy live performances by some of the hottest R&B and Hip Hop artists we love, enjoy our venders' food and beverages, products and services, and more... and go home from here.
