A look back and ahead
The HEAD TRAUMA cinema ARG shows caught the interest of Wired, the Village Voice and a number of other press outlets, thanks in part to the two large ARG productions that we did in Philadelphia and New York. Throughout the year HT played numerous festivals around the world with stops in Chile, Argentina, and Sweden. In the fall, Warner Bros released HT on VOD. It is currently available in various outlets nationwide. Below is a screen grab from Xbox Live.
“Hope is Missing” the online / offline cinema ARG that we created for the Warner’s VOD release racked up massive views / players and created quite a stir. The cinema ARG lead to a series of great meetings and new opportunities. I accumulated a lot of miles as I traveled to Europe and crisscrossed the US with speaking engagements at the Berlin Film Festival, London Film Festival, SXSW, various universities, film societies, ad agencies, and entertainment companies.
The Workbook Project the free filmmaking resource that I founded celebrated its’ one year anniversary with over 3 million hits, 45 hours worth of audio interviews and 13 contributors from 8 countries. And finally I wrote numerous articles for a hand full of national publications such as Filmmaker and DV Magazine.
So far 2008 is off to a great start. There are some exciting things in the works for HT as it moves into the next phase of its’ release. We’re currently working on a number of of cross media gaming properties and the cameras are slated to roll on a new film later this year. I’ve also co-founded a new discover and distribution festival called From Here to Awesome that will assist filmmakers to reach their audiences directly. The festival is an experiment in open media distribution and has gathered a number of amazing promotional and distribution partners to help the fest reach global audiences.
