SXSW 2009

Type Panel → film panel
Venue: Austin Convention Ctr (Room 16AB)
About: Join Zak Knutson & Joey Figueroa of Chop Shop Entertainment, along with longtime Kevin Smith collaborator Ming Chen of View Askew Productions, for an interactive workshop on achieving massive media exposure through internet webisodes. From big-budget studio films to low-budget independent projects, film distributors have come to rely on the internet, and the word of mouth it generates, to showcase their products and to build world-wide fan bases long before their films hit theatres. View examples of both failed and successful webisodes from past projects, discuss the process of creating a webisode that will deliver butts in seats for the all important opening weekend, and learn to take full advantage of the explosion of internet video distribution that creates new celebrities on a daily basis.
