Why are you using social media? It takes a lot of time. What is the exact benefit you think you can get from it?
I don’t know about you, but the most important thing to me is to send people to my blog. Certainly I think that utilizing social media to build traffic on your website or blog should be high on your list.
What about Mobile? As people increasingly use

I can’t seem to leave good enough alone. Previously I worked hard to list out the qualities that I felt lifted a mediocre work into something more crucial, and ushered a good one into greatness. I hit 32 qualities of better film. But I have known I have left some things out. Today I will try to expand the list. Luckily I had some helps from the good people on the comment section too.

Part 4. Production: Keeping our Audience Engaged
Once we had our project funded, we needed to find a way to keep our audience engaged over the year it took to write, produce and release our three Wastelander Panda films.
When we released our Prologue, it was nothing more than a three-minute film, so all of the traffic we gained was directed back to our production company, Epic Films, via our website and Facebook page. This was far from ideal, especially considering that the company’s two other short films, L’Artiste! and Landscape Scene, were very different in tone and subject matter. We needed to separate our Wastelander Panda branding in order to give it the best possible chance of succeeding online long-term, so our first step after funding the project was to create a new Wastelander Panda website (at this stage a WordPress blog), Facebook page and Twitter account.
It turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated to migrate all of our fans over to the new pages. This taught us a great lesson
At the end of the day, isn’t it always about love?

I was fortunate enough to see this film when I was a judge for The Wrap’s ShortFest. All 12 films were really strong. Personally I am a bit partial when part of what a film is about is about filmmaking itself… Martin Rosete directed.
As per Saul Bass…
Each day I become more and more convinced that staged financing could be a cure to much of the Film Biz’s ills. Staged financing? What? Is the phrase not exactly center of your conversations right now? Why not?!! Whatsamattawidyou? Don’t you know a good solution when you see one?

A problem with our construction: Our street must be built on the active tectonic plates known as the Film-Tech Fault.
So how do we build a film/tech company when the dimensions & planes are constantly shifting?
