Traditionally independent filmmakers have been dependent on a long line of gatekeepers that stand between themselves and an audience for their films; financiers, festivals, sales agents, distributors, exhibitors, the press. Today, the Internet enables filmmakers to reach their audiences directly and therefore offers potential for a new business model independent of traditional gatekeepers. In this session leading online pioneers and experts will demonstrate a range of new tools available to filmmakers to help them build audiences, distribute their work and even collaborate with and finance their films.
