Socially Networked: The Plugged-In Producer
I’ll be moderating an interesting panel this Saturday am at the Producer’s Guild “Produced By Conference 2011″ on the Disney Lot at 9:45-11am.
Socially Networked: The Plugged-In Producer
Social media outlets are now an essential component of a project’s overall production plan. Even if you’re a low-budget indie that doesn’t have millions for traditional P&A, you can now build a strong target audience through savvy use of social media sites and tools. Whether your project is a traditional feature or television program, or expressly created for digital media, this session gives you the answers: What do producers need to know and do when navigating social media for production, marketing and distribution? What are the best social practices for film, television and online? Most importantly, what methods give producers more control, and what approaches should you avoid?
