BET Producer, Kurt
Williamson...
A native of Chicago’s
Southland, Williamson has been traveling
a filmmaking journey that’s taken
him from producing for super station WGN-TV
to producing for such media giants as
MTV. KURT, as a principal of Bronx, N.Y.-based
KURT WURKS, has produced a slew of music
videos for major emerging and established
urban music artists and produces no less
than three shows for BET, including the
reality show “Harlem
Heights” . He will
discuss the range of script-writing demands
for film,TV, and music videos.

In the Chicago-launched
tradition of “Saturday Night Live”
and “Second City TV,” the
very twenty-something, overachieving,
Chicago Southland comedy team of
Lance Allen and Jason
Ritchey have transformed their
club standup and sketch routines into
a series of provocative feature shorts
that would make experienced filmmakers
green.
Lance and Jason will discuss how -- between
gigging at nightclubs, busting books and
labs at college, and rearing children,
-- they’ve used the opportunities
to advance from experimenting with comedy
in middle school to winning an NAACP ACT-SO
first place gold medal in filmmaking for
their screenwriting.
