Preview: San Diego IndieFest Film Festival
By Beth Accomando
San Diego IndieFest kicks off tomorrow in North Park. You may know this annual event as a place to find good live music but it also boasts a film festival. Listen to my radio preview and interview with festival co-producer Craig Wilson.
If you want to hear good independent music, San Diego Indie Fest has been providing that for six years. Then, just a couple years ago, the festival started to include film. Craig Wilson says this will be the first year the addition can really be called a film festival.
CRAIG WILSON: In past I’d call it more of a film screening where it was kind of viewed as a place for people to come and rest their feet from seeing all the bands.
Wilson is co-producer of Mental Eccletic’s Indie Film Stage at this year’s Festival. Films will screen Friday and Saturday with an exclusive industry mixer Friday night and a film panel Saturday morning. Wilson says the panel will focus heavily on how filmmakers can use the Internet.
CRAIG WILSON: We have some people coming down from LA and some from Seattle, we’re going to be talking about crowd funding online, how to raise funds for your film online and how to use that, also how to market your film via social networking and we’re also going to talk about distributing your film. Whatever industry you are in in the arts the internet is your biggest tool if you’re going to DIY.
That do it yourself, indie mentality is key to the festival and the films selected. Take the feature film, “In the Darkness.” The film combines the spirit of independence with the potential served up by the Internet. Wilson is excited about this premiere because “In the Darkness” is the first film produced exclusively for Hulu.com. Hulu is a website that offers commercial-supported streaming video of TV shows and movies. As a filmmaker himself, that’s the kind of innovation Wilson likes to see and encourage.
