WHAT IS DIY DAYS?
DIY DAYS - fund :: create :: distribute :: sustain
How do we sustain ourselves as storytellers in this day of shifting distribution systems? How do we monetize our work and get the word out? Presented by WorkBook Project - DIY DAYS aims to answer these questions with a day of panels, roundtable discussions and workshops: A look at how to fund, create, and distribute and sustain.
TARGET AUDIENCE Anyone wanting to make creative work - film, music, games, art. Self-identified Independent storytellers, Creatives and Tech-philes.
THE EVENT The day flows through a mix of both structured and free form activities to encourage open discussion and the opportunity to break into groups and get everyone talking to each other.
Proposed Discussion Topics - New Forms of Storytelling - New models of Finance, Production and Distribution - Audience Building & The Audience Becoming Collaborators - War Stories: “What’s The Real Deal?” - Self-Sustaining: what to know when trying to make a living from your art - Case Studies
Open Discussion Topics - What are you working on? What are you looking for? - How do you consume your media? - What needs to change in order for you to sustain?

- Interview with filmmaker Conor Horgan (One Hundred Mornings)I was lucky to get the chance last week to sit down with Connor Horgan, Writer and Director of the Workbook Project Discovery and Distribution Award winning film, One Hundred Mornings. He talked about making the film, the challenged he faced, some of his upcoming projects (shark hunting, anyone?), being “chuffed,” and some very useful advice for anyone aspir […]
- Unnatural History – RADAR S3 Ep 33 [vid]Unnatural History recaptures rare moments in time, both past and present. The project consists of still photos, taken of rebuilt miniature scenes. Some scenes recreate natural disasters while others capture a natural history seen within museums at time where history and science didn’t see eye to eye. The end result tricks the viewer into believing they are s […]
- Managing THE LOST CHILDREN Storyworld with WordPress: Part 1This is going to be basically a four part series on how we are going to try using WordPress to manage the storyworld of our project THE LOST CHILDREN. I’m hoping to deliver these parts about once a week. Might be a little off, since things with the film are very busy, but in general I am trying to document what we’re actually doing for the film as we go. […]

And you can get a PDF of the full piece, including my earlier associated work on Content Strategy. When creative people get in the zone they generate a ton of ideas for content and experiences that could all work with their transmedia world. However, with resources always […]
- Let’s Make a Web SeriesRemember waiting forever to watch a video on your computer, with a 56k modem? Those days sucked. Now you can instantly view a cornucopia of high quality Internet content on a massive television. Inside your living room, a web series made for less than a $100 can compete for your eyeballs against a TV show produced for over 10,000 x the budget (Lost). Think a […]
