The luncheon, titled "Online Video — For Business, Non-profits, Educators and Individuals," will feature presentations by award-winning San Francisco filmmaker Kevin Epps, and HumbyTV founder Tom Rowles.
Epps has produced and created award-winning new media, short content, Online video for Current TV, Yahoo, Project Read, Thrasher, and is now working on short content for the Boys and Girls Clubs, and  "2010 Census" Online video. A community activist, Epps' most recent film is "Black Alcatraz," described as the untold story of the black experience at Alcatraz Prison.
