Filmmaker magazine’s “lessons in dyi” section has an ineresting article, written by Lance Weiler (dir. Head Trauma) on how to get your film project in front of audiences, more appropriately, ways you can build audiences for your film. The article looks at how things have changed in the last 10 years or so and explores the developments of Web 2.0 (aka “open source cinema / Cinema 2.0) and how these tools of collaboration, sharing, and social networking can get your films seen. This is self-reliance big time.
Mr. Weiler also talks about “Workbook Project.” Here’s a snip:
The Workbook Project aims to provide information about all aspects of the filmmaking process, from fund-raising to distribution. It exists in two forms:
1.A blog that is used to cultivate ideas, links, stories and interviews that will eventually make their way into the first edition of the Workbook.
2. A downloadable filmmaking resource that can be used offline or online.
