"Tabling: A Comic Con Documentary" on VIMEO -- tips from exhibitors at artist's alley


Photo and quote from @citizenMilton on twitter.
"Documentary - online now! See what it's like to be a comic creator at a convention. Fly-on-the-wall observations and interviews about the quirks of the convention scene, the struggles, and the positive vibes of the con circuit."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filmed in June 2019, this documentary (directed by Milton Lawson) is over an hour of behind the scenes footage at Artist's Alley at HeroesCon in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Lots of interviews with different indie artists, authors and exhibitors. Learn valuable tips on how to work your table at a show. See scenes from the live art auction... and of course wanderings on this exhibit hall floor.

At the 1hour 19mins mark, writer Jordan Alsaqa demos his vertical book stand and pin displays. Having the right ways to display your items increases your chances for the engagement/interaction with attendees that all the other exhibitors insist is essential.
