Day: March 5, 2011
Have you heard Thomas Mai’s presentation on Social Media and what it means to the film business? I had the good fortune to witness it this past summer, and thus am very happy that it is now up on the web for you all to benefit from. Thomas used to run Trust Film Sales which handled Lars Von Triers’ films and many others. These days he generally travels and spreads the social media gospel for the filmmaking set. The full presentation runs an hour, but frankly if you are reading this now, you must take the time this weekend to make sure you are up to speed. I am sure you will be glad you did.
Thomas starts things off with a video on the rise of Social Media. Even if you’ve seen this before, it still is stunning. His lecture begins about four minutes in. I am eager to hear your thoughts on this.

So what do you think?
Well… Tribeca is helping that heaven get a tad closer to your daily existence. The deadline to help shape it is coming up fast, so in case you missed it…
Tribeca has launched a new media fund and they want your input now on how to shape it, guide it, and make it work best for your needs. How sweet is that? As their site informs us:
We are really excited about this new fund at the Tribeca Film Institute. New technologies are allowing filmmakers to tell stories in new ways and to reach audiences in direct and dynamic ways. Submissions will open April 4, 2011 but before that we have decided to solicit feedback on how to shape our submission guidelines. Why?
Because we want to create an open dialog about what is possible in this new field. In this same spirit of collaboration, we will soon be launching an online resource for media producers and seasoned cross-platform practitioners to share best practices, case studies and discoveries in this field.
