Filmmaker Summit at Slamdance – Attend for Free…Online!
Our filmmaker/instructor friend Harriette Yahr (of Maui Film School) has just kindly informed us of a a great opportunity happening in Park City this weekend — available all over the world if you have an internet connection…and it’s free!
Harriette is off to the Sundance Film Festival and will attend a Filmmaker Summit at Slamdance THIS Saturday, January 22nd, at 1:30p Mountain Time. (Yes, that’s TOMORROW….10:30am for us Hawaii residents.) Thanks to modern tech, we can all tap into the currents of indie cinema from the comfort of our computers via a live stream from the summit!!
The link to more information (and the live stream) is www.openvideoalliance.org/summit
According to the event’s info page, this summit covers filmmaking “Today, Tomorrow and the Next 50 Years”:
“The second annual Filmmaker Summit: a day of real conversation with innovative leaders, discussing the current state of our community, next steps and how each and every independent filmmaker can take better control of their creative destiny. It’s free to watch and free to attend in person, but you need to register. Presented by Slamdance, the Workbook Project, and OVA, with support from IndieFlix, Banyan Branch, and the Ford Foundation.”
We hope we’ll be joined by thoughtful and creative indie filmmakers for the online experience…it appears that there’s a live Twitter feed dedicated to the stream, which means we can all be interacting while we watch! (Be sure to follow us on Twitter – our handle is @nonifilms – and for extra credit, follow Harriette as well, at @filmworkshops)
Noni Films Wish List: “CrowdControls”
CrowdControls at Work for "Iron Sky" Film
A few months ago, while attending a Maui Film School workshop with Harriette Yahr, we learned about a new crowd-sourcing tool currently in the private beta phase.
CrowdControls is, according to the website, “a demand tool for filmmakers, musicians and other artists to find where audiences are located around the world.”
Wow, that is brilliant!! Marketed with the tagline “It’s like, you know the crowd? It controls”, you know the people behind it are mostly likely really smart, and really funny too.
We’re just beside ourselves with excitement about the implications this has for independent filmmakers and we can’t wait until we’re able to use it for the Plant a Wish tree planting tour and documentary film. As soon as it is available to us, you can bet we’ll be sharing it here!

Plant A Wish Promo Video
We wrote, shot, and edited this in 4 hours, to create a viral video to spread the word about the Plant A Wish project. It was done in the style of the title sequences in the cable series “Weeds”.
