DIY DAYS LA: When the Audience Takes Control

// December 30th, 2008 // 6 Comments » // LA, NYC, boston, featured

It was the end of DIY DAYS LA and the mics began to drop like flies. In the end we were left with a single mic for five people.

PANEL DESCRIPTION: The future of independent film is not in content aggregation, which is quickly becoming commoditized, but in audience aggregation. Sustainability for filmmakers lies directly in the hands of the audience. Direct to audience models have shaken the core of the music industry. But the power of Kevin Kelly’s “1,000 true fans” seems good in theory but where do you start? What are the steps to building an audience around your work and most importantly how do you keep the conversation going? Discussion Leader: Saskia Wilson-Brown (Current TV) – Arin Crumley (Four Eyed Monsters) – Micki Krimmel (expert in social media and online community) – Alex Johnson (digital media strategist / filmmaker) – Lance Weiler (The Last Broadcast, Head Trauma)
