DIGITAL REEL SHOWCASE
and AWARDS PROGRAM

FEATURED SPEAKER AND PRESENTATION:

CARL ROSENDAHL,
CEO and founder of Uth TV

“LEARN AND CREATE--THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!”

                    

Carl Rosendahl is the CEO and founder of Uth TV, a 
broadband outlet tapping into the exploding power of youth voice and digital storytelling. 
He  began the company in 2005 with the goal of creating distribution opportunities for 
youth through the internet and   televison, and that vision has already expanded to include 
everywhere "there is a teen and a screen." In the summer of 2005, Uth TV produced two television 
programs of six episodes each for Bay Area UPN. The programs were written, directed, 
performed, shot and edited completely by people between the ages of 16 and 22. 
In  February of this year, Uth TV launched uthtv.com as an online channel for original 
content created by youth. The site features original programming created by Uth TV crews 
along with video, audio, images and written word contributed by
youth from all over North America. Members are able to create their own
programming and profiles, and participate in an online community of peers.

Carl graduated with a BSEE from Stanford University in 
1979. Seeking a way to combine his passions for filmmaking and technology, he founded 
Pacific Data Images in 1980. PDI became, and continues to be, one of the pioneering and 
most highly innovative creators of computer animation for film and television. During his 
20 years of leading the organization, PDI produced over 700 commercials, worked on visual 
effects for over 70 feature films and, in partnership with DreamWorks SKG, produced the hit 
animated film "Antz" and the Academy Award winning "Shrek." Carl received multiple Emmy Awards 
and in 1998 was recognized with a Technical Achievement Academy Award
for PDI's contributions to modern filmmaking. In early 2000 he sold  
PDI to DreamWorks SKG, where the company continues to develop and produce animated feature films, 
including "Shrek 2" and "Madagascar."
