History
The BigPictureCon was developed in 2004 by a team of industry leaders who founded the Big Picture Film & Video Foundation. Known as The Big Picture Foundation, the organization was established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable entity that provides education & training in the area of screen-based media, Digital Entertainment and Technology. The Foundation's purpose is to support the utilization and retention of students and newcomers in the areas of film technology and the visual arts in Georgia and across the southeast. The foundation's programs include bi-monthly workshops and seminars, Fiscal Sponsorship for individual visual artists, and the annual BigPictureCon.
