It’s almost over. This is my last “official post” covering the digimart conference… I would still like to make a “film mentionned post” (with Dabble!) a “cool people I met” and a last one about “taleaway ideas and technologies” (it’s my turf after all)…
Sheila de la Varende closes with remarks about their vision about what [...]
Moderated by Scott Kirsner. With Ira Deutchman, Donald Ranvaud, Bjorn Koll, Kees Ryninks.
JAWS is the movie that changed distribution? The distribution and exhibition world was stale for a long time. The marketing was relegated to the studios and it left just a few options for them… So what’s wrong with the current model? There is [...]
A panel with Tiffany Shlain, Susan Buice & Arin Crumley, Lance Weiler, and David Straus. Moderated by Liz Rosenthal.

By Jonah Peretti.
Shares his “sweatshop” Nike custom show experiment in 2002. Continues with the “bored at work” network… The things that work best at viral marketing is when the users have almost no decision to make.
Remember that you are competing against lots of viral ideas. Another hindreance is having “payloads” attached, something else to [...]
By Mike Gubbins. Starts by showing album cover war on YouTube.
From Screen magazine, has a more worldwide perspective from the (great) canadians and americans we heard yesterday… Digimart is the greatest cinema conference of the world, things are discussed here that are not elsewhere.
There is such a thing as customer demand. That’s a definitive trend. [...]
Just plugged-in. Multi-tasking today as I have some client work to finish. Will still be blogging this morning but maybe more impressionistic notes than transcripts…
