As noted by Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Matthew Modine, “New technologies have empowered and enabled creators outside of a studio or network system to make their own movies and develop cutting edge entertainment. Affordable cameras and editing software allow artists to create and express their skills for a multitude of new distribution platforms. We are presently witness to how storytelling is being redefined in the 21st Century. New Media Film Festival highlights and showcases what will come next.”
As always, the festival will include several high-octane roundtables with industry experts, including a special “Web Series Superstar Panel” that explores new strategies on engaging a global audience with new multi-platform viewing options.
