Event Interactive 2011
Format Dual
Organizer Joseph Matheny Hukilau
Description In a time when independent film and media funding has dried up, where does a indie filmmaker, transmedia artist, or musician turn for help get projects off the ground? Platforms like Kickstarter, Biracy, Indiegogo, and Hukilau offer a range of solutions, for funding to production help to distribution. With the barriers to entry finally lowered, new expectations of portability, accesibility (I want my media when I want it, how I want it...) what does the new digital landscape look like for new artists and their audiences?
