We’ve submitted a panel with some cool indie film folks on it for next year’s SXSW called “Indie Film Apps. Engage and Distribute”.  Currently, there is a voting mechanism in place for people to vote to choose which panels make it.  I would very much appreciate a vote for our panel.

Please VOTE for our SXSW Panel “Indie Film Apps, Engage and Distribute” http://bit.ly/cucZPK

Here’s the blurb on the panel:

Organizer Mark Smillie, Stonehenge Productions
Description The distribution model has changed for indie film makers. It’s time to take charge and utilize new technologies to distribute and engage your audience. Film makers can now build Apps that run on a variety of platforms such as Apple, Android, and soon Google to distribute their films. More importantly, perhaps, is that these Apps offer something that no other platform offers: The ability to interact with other fans and film makers from within the App over the lifecycle of the film. By leveraging social media, film makers gain an unprecedented view into their audience. This Panel will discuss and debate this new engagement and distribution platform.
Questions
Answered
  1. What are some new ways film makers can distribute films using iPhone/iPad/Android and Google TV?
  2. How can a film maker engage the audience and build a following (and buzz) before the film is even finished?
  3. How can I use an iPhone App to raise money to make my film?
  4. What are the emerging technologies for film distribution? Apps/Google TV/Apple Cloud etc…
  5. Why build an App for your film?
