• What’s New, What’s Up, What’s Happening? Ted from RED and Mark from OFFHOLLYWOOD Talk RED
• Join Ted Schilowitz, Mark Pederson from OFFHOLLYWOOD and users from RED projects around the country.  Schilowitz will be heading to Createasphere New York directly from IBC, with the latest cameras, rigs, and information.
