Support your local Cinema

Bringing audiences to independent cinema in Europe via digital & social media

Quote of the week

"At this time, many Iranian all over the world are watching us and I imagine them to be very happy. They are happy not just because of an important award or a film or filmmaker, but because at the time when talk of war, intimidation and aggression is exchanged between politicians, the name of their country Iran is spoken here through her glorious culture. A rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics. I proudly offer this award to the people of my country. A people who respect all cultures and civilizations and despise hostility and resentment."

Silence, on tourne !

The Artist, Oscar winner in categories best picture, best director, best actor, best costume AND finally best score.

Yes, a silent black and white French movie was this year's Hollywood favourite. Worth a Peter Bradshaw's thought !

Filmmaker Arin Crumley has kindly written an exclusive guest blog for Support your local Cinema this month.

 

The Wall Street Journal lists Arin Crumley among the top 20 new media moguls.  His  first film, Four Eyed Monsters, won the Sundance Channel Audience Award, was nominated for two Spirit Awards and was the first feature-length film to air on YouTube. Millions of viewers have engaged across multiple mediums with the project, which began building audience through the release of a popular online video series and then booked film screenings across the world using the first location-based request system for independent film. The project evolved into an interactive experience when it began re-mixing footage created by the audience into the series itself. Continuing his exploration into new media Arin also co-founded a research and development project called From Here to Awesome, which invited filmmakers to create the future models of collaboration, funding, production and distribution. Recently Arin also co-founded OpenIndie.com, which is designing a new community distribution model for booking screenings of independent films and exploring ways to put revenue directly into filmmakers pockets.

 

Our many thanks to Arin for this one-off post.
