I want to thank all of my readers for your wonderful contributions, support, words of wisdom over the past year.

For the past several months I have been working on the release of a new film Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance under my new entity Hybrid Cinema releasing entity – partnering with Sheri Candler Marketing and Publicity.   Over the next few months I will be writing about how we have approached the release of this film on a variety of subjects – including what I believe is the first national simulcast straight from a film’s festival premiere (January 28, 2012), Facebook splash pages via Fanbridge, Email for Media campaigns, targeted email campaigns, Facebook advertising, affiliate marketing, merchandise packaging, creative windowing and more.

I am excited that these blogs will be hosted on this newly relaunched website courtesy of the folks at CHIPS – which has been too long in coming.  I wanted a site that would integrate all of my activities, filmmaking, writing, speaking and strategy/consulting.  A few more changes to the blog are in the works.   I welcome your feedback on the layout on the design.

Stay tuned for two more content streams: I have been filming my workshops for the last couple of years and we plan to be releasing those this year.

Finally – this year I will be conducting interviews for my new book on Artistic Entrepreneurship where I’m going to be taking the concepts of Think Outside the Box Office and applying them to all the art forms.  I’ll be posting blogs and video clips from interviews as the project progresses.

Here’s to a wonderful 2012 to all.

Sincerely,

Jon Reiss
