15.00: Session 1
S/M/L: Determining Digital Content's Perfect Fit, Presented in Partnership with MSN
How/what/when we watch online are the central questions facing advertisers and platform programmers across the digital landscape. If you're a producer or filmmaker with an eye toward the online marketplace, how much you produce can be just as important as what you're creating. This discussion will examine recent trends and successes from micro-episodes to full length episodic series. Hear first-hand from the platforms, producers and packagers that are driving the discussion and gain insight on how to find your story's "perfect fit."
16.00: Session 2
Show Me the Money! An Indie Producer's Guide to Funding Digital Projects
While independent web series producers enjoy the creative freedom that the medium provides, the ability to secure digital commissions, crowd funding or advertiser investment can be a significantly larger challenge. This panel will explore the current options available to indie creators and the trending attitudes in traditional vs. nontraditional platforms. Topics include: financing models, how the financial supporter roster is evolving, and which source of funding may be the right fit for your project.
17.00: Digital Networking Cocktail Hour
18.30: Session 3
