The Conversation: Social Media, Digital Distribution, and the Future of Film March 26, 2010

(Apologies: This event is now sold-out, and tickets will not be available at the door.)

Not a conference, but a CONVERSATION geared to filmmakers, video creators, and other visual storytellers...

How can you build a truly massive audience using Twitter and other social media? What's the right strategy to earn the most from a digital release? How can you organize inventive real-world screenings, and collaborate with brands -- without selling out? THE CONVERSATION, an unorthodox one-day gathering at Columbia University, will address those questions and more. Speakers include Ryan Werner of IFC Entertainment, Asi Burak of Impact Games, Steve Savage of New Video, Fred Seibert of Next New Networks, Ira Deutchman of Emerging Pictures, Tom Quinn of Magnolia Pictures, Tiffany Shlain of "The Tribe," Robert Bahar of "Made in L.A.," and Cory McAbee of "Stingray Sam."

Session topics include "Digital Distribution: Addressing the Big Questions," "Making Content for the Web," and "Turning Virtual Friends Into Real Audiences."

The 2008 edition of THE CONVERSATION at UC/Berkeley sold out, so register today to hold your spot at the very first East Coast gathering.
