Apparently, our TweetReach with the #LondonSWF tag was over two million impressions. Holy hot tweets batman! What the blazes does that actually mean? At the festival, I ran a short social media workshop for people who were reluctant to engage with new social media sites and tools. At the end, screenwriter Daniel Martin Eckhart (@dmeckhart) [...]

LinkedIn. Less ‘Social’, More ‘Media’… If you are frustrated with Facebook and Twitter, could it be the tool you are looking for?

Learn a little HTML for film makers and transform your web pages and blogs

Focus for success and Tweeting to the converted…
I am in the final furlong now… The deadline for The Guerilla Film Makers Pocketbook is February 8th, and it’s all hands on deck in the Living Spirit office. I printed the book out last Friday and was horrified at how many blank pages I saw, and how little time remained. And so, I engaged [...]
Twittering Escalates!
Finally I am getting my head around Twitter and what it can really offer us all. First off, the video here is from TED and is a good background to the creation of Twitter. So what have I learned so far? Well first off, you need a computer desktop version, you can’t rely on [...]
I have finally succumbed to Twitter pressure…
Finally I have succumbed to Twitter. Last year, a few film makers suggested I get a Twitter account, and at the time, I knew I should check it out, but it was just another thing on my list to do… and frankly, I was overwhelmed. So now I am on Twitter, finally. And it seems [...]
