Making Movies as the Ultimate Social Medium
NYFF51: Convergence
September 28 - 30, 2013
With technology, distribution, and financing readily available thanks to Kickstarter, IndieGogo, and Seed & Spark we ask “has there ever been a better time to create content?”
In the early 2000’s advances in inexpensive digital video cameras and easy to use editing software placed the means of production in the hands of any person with the will to become a filmmaker. It wasn’t long before web sites like YouTube and Vimeo provided creators with a way to get their work seen by a global audience. Technology is once again revolutionizing filmmaking – from professional creators to novice makers – this time fueled by crowdfunding and microfinance sites likes Kickstarter, IndieGogo, and Seed & Spark. With technology, distribution, and finance readily available to hungry creatives this panel of industry pros asks the question “has there ever been a better time to create content?”
