Mergers and acquisitions: Chicago Underground Film Festival

|
Back to the 20th March, I received an e-mail from CONTAINERS, the Chicago Underground Film Festival, announcing its invitation to submit comments. No major news, I receive a lot of calls for a celebration for the bids. But buried in small print, the real message: Chicago Underground Film Festival This is a new development. CONTAINERS has always been in August, and has always been, at the end of the sale in the world, the festival, which consists of an apartment on a small budget and a fanatical love of film-U. IFP / Chicago (that’s Independent Feature Project, for non-fans of acronyms), is part of a national organization, serves to support and the independent film community, using the creative talent and the ‘film industry “, as the website, it expresses. In other words, they are much more business-y CONTAINERS than ever. Not that the IFP is a monster of the business, to support those people on low budget films turn. Only in this way that all of this is that people with the equipment and resources to creating films. Okay, ie Should I realized that this story very revolutionary days, but I left a message for the IFP / Chicago head honcho Elizabeth Donius seeking a subpoena, and then I I had sidetracked. Sorry. While I was participating in other things, indiewire picked up the story. This ain’ta ball, but here’s my two cents: It’s good for CONTAINERS. Underground Film customs, and others like indiewire have a tough time. CONTAINERS has fought valiantly to stay nervous while efficiency in fact an edition of the event being held, a challenge has been successfully mixed. IFP is cool stuff, but he was stronger on policy makers, without much advertising to the general public work (to be fair, this is not its role, but it could have more good relations with most screening, which focus not only on the intervention director, IMHO). “You edgy in my store of art!” “You dirty piercing jazz musicians in my network! There are two main flavors, taste great together. IFP / Chicago pay their outstanding organizational ability, and they are a party, as the coordination of the beauty of their annual summit Midwest director. It’s a win / win. |
