I’ve been revamping my blog page – making it more of a front page and my wonderful web manager/co-producer Michael Medaglia gave me this site:
http://www.w3schools.com
as a resource if you need to find any html code. You’ll need this as you get further into wordpress to make your blog more of a front page. Chris Hyams from B Side says that all of their film sites are done in WordPress – and they are very clean and focused on specific audience actions.
Hey guys –
I am fortunate enough to be speaking at the SXSW festival this coming Sunday in Austin.
If you are in Austin for this great fest, check out the panel –
Self Distribution Not All by Yourself
Room 15
Sunday, March 15th
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Mention the words “self-distribution” to an independent filmmaker, and weeks filled with envelope stuffing, print
shuttling, and Quickbook keystroking come to mind. But, these days, a DIY approach to distribution doesn’t actually mean that you have to do it all yourself. Join veterans of the distribution wars as they help you understand the network of deals and alliances that filmmakers can strike themselves in order to get their films in front of audiences.
