Congratulations New Mexico Film WCN Transmedia Filmmakers Award Nominiee January 2011.
SUPPORT NEW MEXICO FILMMAKERS MESSAGE
In preparation of this article and preparing the launch of the Social Transmedia Awards, I found this important Transmedia Story related to Filmmaking in New Mexico.
Social Cinema's for Indpendents where product placement and a global social networking distribution platform just makes more sense.
Join WCNTV and WCN Transmedia Groups on Linkedin to have your voice heard. And if you support a Social Cinema on Facebook, Myspace stay tuned as we prepare the interface for Film Makers, TV Producers, Writers, Actors, and Musicians. If Transmedia Story telling is the connection between the Fan and the Artist. And Social Networking is global and growing in the Hundreds of Millions it only make sense to form Content Alliances with Advertisers.
I read a report yesterday where Theather Owners are starting to come together to finance films. Another Producer was asking for $10.00 from the shows fans to help them produce the next several episodes.
I think you would agree if your a indpendent Filmmaker that there needs to be more opportunity presented by IPTV Distribution of Films. And if IPTV is the gateway technologically, then Social Transmedia Brandcasting represents the best opportunity to create more quality films and get them to a socially connected audience on sites like Facebook and others.
