We are planning a lot this year and are looking forward to updating the website (long overdue, we know), officially launch the piffFilms ROKU channel, integrate with #PhillyTechWeek even more, as well as announce partners and other ideas.

Last year’s festival was a huge success for us and we are tracking the success of the films. Check out our Facebook account and our Twitter account for regular updates.

Don’t forget – support ALL film festivals and local screenings! The city is thriving with great options and other interesting things concerning film and it’s related fields including technology. Visit a small studio, show up to a networking event, shout it out via #PHLfilm on Twitter. Get involved. photo

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 3,900 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 3 trips to carry that many people.

New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education recommends and distributes the film A Journey into the Holocaust to its 1,200 middle and high schools

* Every NJ teacher can receive a free copy of the Teacher’s Guide created for the film
* Every NJ teacher who uses the film will receive a free screening license
* Every NJ teacher has access to the educator’s only portion of the website

A Journey into the Holocaust, a documentary that attempts to answer why the Holocaust and other genocides happened and why they will continue to happen, has been accepted as an approved program to teach the Holocaust to New Jersey students. “We have approved and are recommending that teachers use this excellent film and Teacher’s Guide to help meet the state’s Holocaust education mandate” expressed New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education Executive Director D. Paul Winkler.

Visit the website and official Press Release here.

Media Bureau was proud to work on this film in a variety of capacities including producing and edit supervising. Thank you to Director and Writer Paul Bachow for giving us the opportunity to bring our talents to the table. We are honored to have worked on this project.

Enabling a pop-up community? A few quick points to make.

enable, frequency, pop-up community. social media

If the primary focus is (mandated) content choice and the goals are attraction and retention, then insertion destination, interaction, and frequency are primary steps. As well, working under the premise that a community has been developed and is capable of the interactions you are seeking, then a primary goal is to let as many people who know you have the content, know. Process: (target or potential target) details about the destination community.

We begin discussion with this outline in mind:

a. goal(s)

b. choice(s) (target)

c. frequency (destination) (schedule of posts and type)

d. capability (enabling of community to act on their own)

Philadelphia Independent Film Festival launches 5th festival with record attendance

Festival 5 is a wrap. The follow-up now begins. What a process to produce a film festival. If we have any respect for any Festival Founder or Director it is that they even make something like this happen at all. The expectations of “thousands” of filmmakers and attendees is stunning and at times beyond belief (parking on demand in Philadelphia?). A film festival is motivated in its pure sense to screen films that they feel the public wants to see. Their are those that feel they are “all about local film or Independent film” but in short, are sorely missing the point. The film fest attendee has as much love for film as the one who brags “they are all about it”. The process in which a festival is produced is where the dedication lies and that is the holy grail – producing a festival by all means possible. Media Bureau has been producing @philaIndie since it conceived the idea in 2007. We all dreamed of getting to festival 5. The founder and festival director, Benjamin F. Barnett and Bernard Glincosky, are still standing. This years team consisted of the most talented and diverse body since we broke ground in 2008 with the first festival. This years team (now going on 2+ years), Stephon Tucker (Producer), James DiFonzo (Festival PR and writer in residence), Melissa O’Donnell (Screening Chair and filmmaker liason), Kelsey Hoffman (Festival General Manager), Edgardo Vazquez (Festival Art Director), Bernard Glincosky (Volunteer Coordinator) and the vast army of volunteers that took on “jobs” to make it the best festival by far ever are a force. This spawning is what makes Philadelphia film so special to us and we hope all of you. This years festival screened 122 films and video’s, with 14 screened “off festival” (136 total). What can we say? Hate us or love us, we are here to stay and are on track despite the carnage of a global financial meltdown and blindsiding competition.

See you June 26 – 30, 2013 for festival #6. Bigger, better, stronger. We hope you join us.
