OLD BUSINESS 

 

Improve the DrinkDriveDie.com Webpage and continue to update The Last Dance Video – City Digital Media Compliance Specialist Kurtis Korwan updated the SAC on the status of The Last Dance Video script. He would provide the current draft script to the SAC Members following this meeting via (working through) Staff Liaison Emily Campbell. 

 

Next, Mr. Korwan gave a presentation that reviewed information on the most recent casting call that sought to discover the actresses and actors that would play the fictitious roles in The Last Dance video. The discussion also reviewed the following:

 

  • Selecting from the current pool of persons that may play roles
  • Getting more participants to play roles
  • Ideas and logistics for some of the video’s scenes (crash scene, etc.)
  • Funding needed to purchase copyright footage of prom scenes, etc.
  • Further meetings and assignments for the project
  • The goal of filming the video’s scenes before the school year ended 
  • Working during May or other summer months would require the City Council’s approval in April 2023 (required by the SAC’s governing resolution) 
  • Florida Statutes and board meeting requirements 
  • Having a table reading with the video’s participants at the next regular SAC meeting on April 18, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. 
  • The table reading on April 18, 2023 would be the SAC’s main agenda item that would have the most discussion, whereas it was not anticipated that much discussion was necessary on other agenda items 

 

The SAC provided a consensus to designate SAC Member Julia Moon as the Assistant Student Film Director for the video project. 

 

Mr. Korwan advised that he would work with City Staff Liaison Emily Campbell to prepare the agenda for the SAC’s next regular meeting on April 18, 2023. Mr. Korwan would provide information on any budget related requests for the video that required the SAC’s formal consideration.
