And now for the highest praise TVWriter™ can give just about anything:
Both LB and munchman loved this short (under 5 minute) masterpiece.
Animators unite! We’re thinking that with very little trouble you could take over the entertainment world.
As I mentioned last week, Chilltown is an official selection in this year’s A3C Film Festival. A3C is the biggest hip-hop festival in the world. And it’s focus is underground/indie hip-hop. A lot of people come from indie hip-hop–Jay Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, just for starters. When I launched Chilltown, I reached out to the underground hip-hop community. I felt/hoped people would embrace it. And they did! Being an official selection is probably the biggest thing that happened for Chilltown so far. Part of the lesson for me: niche. I didn’t think “niche” when I originally reached out to the underground/inidie hip-hop community initially. I just thought, “this is the kind of music I love, I hope other fans relate and respond to my work.”
I was told A3C averages 10,000-50,000 people, which is huge. They also do press, so I’m hoping to use this to not only bring more awareness to Chilltown, but also to get people interested in the relaunch.
This is the second year for the Film Festival and other films that are screening are some really cool documentaries, including the world premiere of Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton, which is about Stone’s Throw Records, one of hip-hop’s biggest. The festival is produced in collaboration with the Atlanta Film Festival.
Ever heard of the 48 Hour Film Project?
Why, it’s a chance for you to test your skills, meet people, and jump start your creativity. Spend a sleepless few days pushing yourself and your team to the limits for fun, glory, and the arts! I just finished the New Haven chapter’s 2013 run (but there are many other cities who haven’t started yet). Here’s why I had a great time and you might too:
…Cuz that’s one of the wonderful things about the interweb and its series. They’re on 24/7. For as long as the webs shall live:
Everybody loves puppets, right?
And everybody loves DOCTOR WHO, no?
What about peer production?
