Our special guest is leading distribution strategist Peter Broderick (wrote "Film" chapter for Be The Media).
Peter consults with filmmakers and media companies to develop strategies
to maximize distribution, audiences, and revenues. He was previously
President of Next Wave Films, which helped launch the careers of many
filmmakers. Peter also established Next Wave Films' Agenda 2000, the
world's first initiative devoted to financing digital features. Even the NY Times wrote an article about Peter.
Make sure you read Peter's manifesto, The Ten Principles of Hybrid Distribution.
Guests include Joel Bakan, author and associate producer of "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power," and Kat Dodds, who was director of communications and producer of the film's web project. This film is currently the highest grossing documentary in Canada’s history.We'll be joined by NY Times columnist Scott James, aka author Kemble Scott, whose novel SoMa (2007) was the first book launched using videos on YouTube. His second novel The Sower (2009) was the first ebook novel sold by social publishing giant Scribd.com.
We'll also be joined by Donald Goldmacher, producer of the film "Heist: The Looting of the American Dream."
