Filmmakers Catching The DIY Wave At Slamdance
We’ve been singing the gospel of DIY Film Marketing at Film POP! since day one, and love seeing the wave catching on. Two people who have been just as passionate and vocal about the DIY bootstrap concepts in film marketing as well, Jon Reiss and Ted Hope, are doing some great things to get their fellow filmmakers motivated for their own success.
A recent Filmmaker Summit held at Slamdance was just one example of filmmakers using knowledge sharing and DIY tools to help everyone become successful as the market changes from a studio driven one to an audience driven one. For filmmakers passionate about their art, there has never been a more perfect time to take the risk and make your film than now, when the audience is directly within your reach using social tools.
You can see the tweets from the summit this past week by going to Search.Twitter and looking for hashtag #fs10 (or just click this #fs10 link). You can also see video from the summit, recorded tweets and comments on the FS10 web site. We hope to see many more collaborative learning environments like this spring up, with filmmakers of all sizes riding the DIY social wave.
