Bridgeman Images' Edward Whitley, President and Kevin Gippert, Senior Account Manager attended and invited along their clients at Disney, Sony, Warner Brothers, Shed Media and freelance set decorators.

“Movies ask the audience to believe in something, whether its dinosaurs, Indiana Jones, Abraham Lincoln or Life of Pi. The ability to create something we can only speculate about through our imagination…That is the profound impact of cinematic imagery. The images we remember, they stay with us for a lifetime.”
- Kathleen Kennedy (Cinematic Imagery Award)
