Independent Filmmakers Working with New Technologies: Case Studies by Scott Kirsner
New technologies are creating unprecedented opportunities for social
issue filmmakers, whether they are already members of the ITVS
community—or aspiring members.
But chasing every new opportunity can be a waste of a filmmaker’s
energy and resources. Which ones will generate the biggest return, in
terms of attracting viewers, making change in the world and producing
positive financial results?
The ITVS Digital Initiative: Report from the Field, a series of case
studies published on the ITVS website, aims to answer that question. By
sharing the stories of filmmakers who are experimenting with new
technologies, and trying whenever possible to quantify the results,
we’ll seek to inspire other filmmakers to innovate—while trying to
avoid raising unrealistic expectations.
