New Maneuvers A’Comin’

I’ve just spent the last 140 minutes or so hanging at an elite gathering of new-media people at a fifth-floor loft on Warren Street, listening to The Wrap‘s Sharon Waxman, indie producer Ted Hope and B-Side/Slated CEO Chris Hyams talk about brilliant new ways of using social media to get the word out about shorts, sites, films, whatever. It was fast-moving and a little spritzy from time to time, but I’m glad I attended. It pushed things along in my head.


(l. to .r.) New Media discussion moderator Sharon Waxman, B-Side/Slated CEO Chris Hyams, indie producer Ted Hope at tonight’s event, which was called “The Power of Crowds and Independent Film: Marshaling the Wisdom of Social Media.”

The sponsor was Flickweets, the new iPhone application that’s attached to mrqe.com (which is pronounced “marquee.”)

  1. DZ’s link thing is like some form of autism.

    That being said, THESE HERE LINKS relate to panels like the one mentioned above, and the backlash thereof. Apologies for the hypocrisy, but they’re worth reading if you’re interested in social media and indie film panels, and really, I mean, who isn’t:

    We’re kidding, of course. (We love your new haircut, by the way.) As such, we’re going to take the next seven days to prepare physically, mentally, spiritually and gastronomically for the rigors of the approaching, week-long news deluge. Don’t be alarmed if our posts lack their usual sheen and MBT Sneakers — we probably just expended our copy-editing energies during one of our daily training Coach Bags. It’s difficult to focus on grammar and punctuation when you’re running a tour de stade, you know?If you’ve been keeping tabs on the extra-savory rumors and Jordan Sneakers that’s surfaced over the past month, you’re probably well aware of the fact that Gucci Bags goes down in a little over a week. If you weren’t aware of that fact, don’t be too upset — some people just aren’t as perceptive as others. You probably also haven’t noticed all of the hidden cameras we installed in your Coach Handbags when you were at Air Jordan Shoes last week.
