Digital Bedrock is proud to partner with Indie Collect to present a free workshop guiding filmmakers on how to “future-proof” their films—whether shot on celluloid, video, or digital—so that they can be used in the future. The workshop, which takes place Friday, September 12, 2025, 10AM – 1:00PM – PST, will include case studies (horror stories & happy endings) and DIY strategies. Many filmmakers and media professionals have already suffered disasters: fire, floods, hard drives that don’t mount, cloud storage that goes “poof,” vinegar syndrome, mold. Learn how to avoid these and other plagues before it’s too late.

You’ll come away from this session inspired and equipped with specific protcols for protecting your work. This event is hosted by IDA and co-presented by Women In Film, Outfest, and NewFilmmakers Los Angeles.

The panel will take place in person on Friday, Sept 12th at the IDA Office (3600 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 1810, Los Angeles, CA 90010). For those who cannot attend in person, it will also take place on Zoom. This event is free and open to the public.
