Our Film Fellow Looks Back On His TFF Experience

Over at POV's blog, 2012 Film Fellow (and POV Project VoiceScape grant-winner) Matthew Seife looks back on what he took away from attending this year's Tribeca Film Festival with his other fellows.

Here's an excerpt:

The biggest thing I learned from the Film Fellows experience was the importance of social media and cross-platforming to reach a larger audience. A lot of the speakers I heard from talked about how their projects were successful because of the web components of their films. One of the speakers, from Mozilla, talked about how we can use media already on the web to create new projects. I also heard a variety of discussions about the rising importance of multimedia at TFI Interactive Day, another cool event from the festival. One of my favorites from that day was the discussion about “Game of Thrones” and how they tried to entice as many senses as possible with their marketing campaign.

Seife was also involved with the Our City, My Story series, as his animated short Zombie Dog was one of the 13 films shown.
