FestMob SXSW

February 23rd, 2007 • Related Posts • Tags

All right, as SXSW draws near, the heat is a risin’ - and don’t mean that good ‘ol Texas BBQ that I plan to enjoy.

Lance Weiler has his FestMob project primed for another round and I’m excited to participate - if you didn’t check it out during Sundance, now’s your chance. Festival attendees upload video, comments, locations, pictures, even leave voicemails, all of which are logged on the site so those of us attending (presumably) can find out what’s going on and for those who can’t make it, check in and see what’s hot. Sign up now.

Our panel details have been launched - Blogging About Film on Tuesday, March 13 at 11:30 AM. Moderated by the illustrious Alison Willmore of The IFC Blog, Yours Truly, Lance, Mark Rabinowitz, Paul Harrill and Joel Heller will get chatty about film blogging. Totally cool group and I’m very excited!

And lastly, for now, I’ll be helping out my buds at Indiepix.net with some interviews - they have a booth at the expo to serve as podcast central, and they are even as you read this, signing up filmmakers and other indie media folks for quickie interviews. If you want to schedule a time to stop by and chat about your film or blog or whatever that will go up on their cool site, just let me know. I’ll get ya all hooked up.

    Hey Agnes, nice to meet you on the street at True/False… and nice that you’ve caught on to Lance’s project. It’s pretty awesome. I was FestMobbing at Sundance this year and thought it was a pretty cool use of the technology. I kept pushing for the FestMob to organize some kind of party (what else?!), but to no avail… Maybe SXSW. Or what the hell… next year we’ll have True/Falst festmobbing!
