For anybody making films in WA - whether underground moviemakers or people looking for the next Australian hit - this workshop offers the opportunity to the current state of the global industry. As well as many other credits. Jon Reiss has two big festival circuit hits under his belt - Bomb It! And Better Living Through Circuitry,
After taking this workshop across America and Europe he's now bringing it to Australia - starting at this year's Rev!
The subjects of Jon Reiss' work sit on the outside of mainstream culture and so it's unsurprising that the way in which his films hit the marketplace explored alternate mechanisms. With two massive international film festival favorites behind him, Reiss has harnessed the alternative spirit to develop unique approaches to reaching audiences and commercial success on his own terms. Join Reiss as he takes us through hybrid distribution and marketing techniques, covering topics such as how to create a distribution and marketing strategy that is unique for your film, the various markets that are available to release your film in, how and why to engage your audience as early as possible, and how to think beyond the feature film to create new forms of content to market and distribute. Areas discussed include rights and digital rights, redefining the theatrical experience and transmedia. Absolutely essential for anybody who is either making or considering making a movie and wants to engage with the rapidly changing global film culture.
