Slamdance is taking the film industry to the chopping block this year and all filmmakers should take notice.
We are at a a unique time in film’s history: tried and true marketing strategies are falling flat and new talent is rising faster than you can say “Paranormal Activity.” These days, anyone can call themselves a filmmaker (if even only on YouTube) and the commercial film world doesn’t seem so high and mighty anymore.
To discuss this and more, IndieFlix and fellow hosts The Workbook Project and Open Video Alliance are presenting a Filmmaker Summit at the Treasure Mountain Inn in Park City, Utah this Saturday, Jan. 23.
The mission? To jointly craft a new charter for filmmaking, storytelling and content distribution with and by the global filmmaking community.
They’ll be talking about hard issues facing filmmakers in a new DIY distribution and marketing world. Audiences can log in to the Workbook Project Filmmaker Summit page and ask film-making questions, which are collaboratively answered and edited by other users. Users also get the opportunity to pose their vision of a truly independent film industry and share the tools and resources they’ve discovered along the way. Ultimately, it’s the users who decide which questions and answers will be answered at Saturday’s panel.
Tune in on Jan 23rd for the live stream from Park City, Utah at www.slamdance.com/summit.
