Imagine a digital doorway that opens a new perspective into the technical world, giving attendees the opportunity to experience digital art in its many forms. Although from a virtual setting, the event will include networking with industry professionals, featuring galleries, exhibits, local music and talent. You can expect raffles with exciting high-end prizes, a silent auction, screenings, presentations, entertainment, workshops, an awards ceremony and some fun additional surprises in between.
DigiDay 2020 is designed for not only content creators but those who simply wish to enjoy great visual digital art, animation, video and film, learn industry advancements, new techniques in the entertainment industry and gain insight on how digital arts are being incorporated into the economic culture. In order to make sense of this event, one must picture the elements of a film festival, education and networking from a conference, that includes entertainment and excitement, all jam packed into a virtual experience; that’s DigiDay 2020, taking place on Aug 22, 2020.
The popularity of the event has attracted well-known names throughout the years such as Emmy winner Cady McClain, Universal Studios Executive
Vice President John Corser, a panel of Disney animators and graphic designers, “A list” scriptwriters, competition gamers and YouTube influencers to name a few. This year’s DigiDay is stacking up the virtual red carpet with names like Teddy Lane Jr. and Jess Paul, Actor and Filmmaker.
Although the normal, three day digital in-person DigiFest 2020 event will look different this year, it just goes to show how important digital technology is - hence the “Show Must Go On” attitude. JDS Creative Academy and Digifest Temecula are embracing technology and utilizing streaming platforms to roll with the everchanging world in hopes to engage with more people from all over the world. DigiFest Temecula already has worldwide attention, receiving festival submissions from Scotland, across the United States, throughout California, and lots of locals here in southwest Riverside County. Entries include students K-12, and Higher Education, Amateurs, and Professionals, in addition to submissions from our award-winning JDS Creative Academy job-training participants. DigiDay has received a range of submissions, from short films and videos to gaming, podcasts, animations, graphic designs and music entries. This event is inclusive and suitable for all.
