We are very proud to announce that the Machinima Expo is partnering with the New Media Film Festival to provide mutual support and promotion within each festival. The New Media Film Festival is a live, 2-day celebration of New Media in all it’s forms.
The New Media Film Festival, which takes place in June in Los Angeles, will be create a new Machinima category and all jury nominated films for the Expo will automatically be entered to compete for prizes and screening.
Founder Susan Johnston, a successful Hollywood veteran, approached us with being sister festivals to each other and we love the idea. Thank you, Susan! We love the New Media Film Festival moto “honoring stories worth telling” and have incorporated the idea in this year’s Expo.
One very cool aspect of the festival is that the panels and the awards ceremony are streamed live on the net every year! Although it would be a lot of fun to attend, you don’t have to if you can’t make it. Be sure to check out the “web series superstars” panel, which was great! All of last year’s panels are available for free at the New Media Film Festival Youtube channel.
We at the Expo feel our partnership with the New Media Film Festival will provide more opportunities for machinima filmmakers to share their works and to network with New Media professionals.
