TBWA gets behind aSaigon/CreativeMorning
Thursday 10, February 2011 at 8:04 AM by CB
TBWA\Vietnam is supporting aSaigon/CreativeMorning, a non-profit enterprise, to help build the creative
community in Vietnam. aSaigon/CreativeMorning is a
monthly series that focuses on fresh ideas, innovation
and creativity. Held at TBWA\Vietnam's head quarters
in Ho Chi Minh City, the event brings in key speakers on
a range of topics that inspire and support creativity.
The first aSaigon/CreativeMorning speaker was writer,
actor, producer, director, Dustin Nguyen (left). Coming
off of the success of Để Mai Tính, Vietnam's biggest
film of 2010, Dustin tackled the difficult question of
trying to find the balance between art and commerce -
something very relevant to those in creative industries.
R. Streitmatter-Tran, an artist who attended the first Saigon/CreativeMornings event,
praised Dustin Nguyen on tackling the subject in a very forthright manner: "Dustin was a
fantastic start - honest, unpretentious, and informative. An ironic but good mix; his talk
avoided self-promotion in a space where survival depends on promotion."

What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to teleconference into your meetings? In that way you could get more international input into your sessions.

Wow, teleconference! Sounds positively Charlie's Angels!
ReplyDeleteWhere are you David, and what do you do? Our sessions are low-tech by design and formatted as intimate chats. Unless we could get Salvidor Dali or Woody Allen on-screen we'll stick with live bodies. Internationally, we're good (check organizers and speakers) The best thing to do is come by for a session and join the LinkedIn group as well. We will, however, be uploading video of past sessions soon so stay tuned. We'll telex a schedule when ready!
