Details from Jill’s Next Record website • $10 - Unpolished Rock (but with potential) Level: A free digital download of the album, when it's released. • $25 - Polished Rock Level: An advance copy of the CD. Weeks before the masses. • $2,500 - Emerald Level: Mentioned as an executive producer of the album -- whoop- di-doo! • $5,000 - Diamond Level: I will come and do a house concert for you. Invite your friends, serve some drinks, bring me out and I sing. Actually, this level is a smart choice economically. I've played many house concerts where the host has charged his guests and made his money back. I'd go for this if I were you. • $10,000 - Weapons-Grade Plutonium Level: You get to come and sing on my CD. Don't worry if you can't sing - we can fix that on our end. Also, you can always play the cowbell.

Notes de l'éditeur
- For lack of a better title...\nThanks to Liz and Tishna and sponsors\n
- \n
- First things first, we have to realize that the model is broken - pretty much all the business models for film have changed dramatically if they haven&#x2019;t broken all together\n
- the usual model is completely broken\n

- point out 75 screens in 17 cities in Bulgaria\n
- yet still, films were made. Well, the first thing you have to realize is that digital has been a disruptive innovation on the field. it completely transforms everything we do. music biz example, trouble embracing the new so lose out\n
- It has rolled back the tide on many bad business models and changed them fundamentally. We can now speak to one another more easily and see just how poorly a gallery is paying or a distributor, etc. Also, these behaviors (online) aren&#x2019;t new - these aren&#x2019;t new behaviors but what people wanted to do all along; also story of everyone knows future\n
- we&#x2019;re in a whole new paradigm and business models are changing overnight in every industry.think about it, newspaper advertising and classifieds were a multi billion dollar industry and craigslist came along and tidied that up into one profitable 100 million company. the changes here will be just as profound\n
- But we need to step back and look at a 50,000 ft level at what has changed Indeed the very notion of value has changed. \n
- in the old world, the business was built on scarcity, but today we have ubiquity - true obviously in film and music, but also in all other arts - you are now competing with a worldwide artist base, and the entire history of the arts. And audiences who want cultural entertainment (or enlightenment, or....) can get it from many new places.\n

- becoming more participatory, a conversation\n
- here&#x2019;s an example of a filmmaker using it to their advantage - building community. note how they make it easy for people to take the content to other websites and blogs through widgets, etc. Notice how Vanishing of the Bees has a blog, a petition, twitter, facebook, etc. and a widget to take the content elsewhere.\n
- the latest twitter stats\n
- Importance of twitter (today) Fastest growing 1382% increase in one year, 42% over 35.\n
- \n
- Zoe Keating has used it to amass an audience of over 1 million followers, and she now has a self-sustaining career. Notice here she is replying/thanking a fan who cued her in on how to watch some media. She&#x2019;s not just working a one way street, she&#x2019;s communicating with her audience.\n
- zoe has built a fan base, that&#x2019;s in constant dialogue with her. Because this should be your ultimate goal - not to think of building an audience for just one project, but for you, your career - people who will continue to follow you, be in dialogue with you and support your career.\n
- Filmmakers are doing it on their own. Iron Sky example\n
- Join community in multiple places, now have 28K fans, and the movie isn&#x2019;t even shot yet\n
- also have people requesting the film through a Google Map mashup, and have over 19K requests before the movie is shot.\n
- and now you can too with crowdcontrols\n
- We&#x2019;re also seeing people turning the audiences into their funders\n
- Patronage &#x2013; radiohead model, give it away but can donate to get more. Jill Sobule got her fans to donate to make her album - 95K\n
- Here&#x2019;s a blow-up of what you got for your donation\n
- here&#x2019;s a recent example of filmmakers doing this - cosmonaut example - one of the more clever uses of crowd-funding\n
- cosmonaut example - here&#x2019;s some of their merchandise, gives a broad range for support\n
- cosmonaut example - here&#x2019;s some of their merchandise, gives a broad range for support\n
- cosmonaut example - here&#x2019;s some of their merchandise, gives a broad range for support\n
- Age of Stupid did this as well to much success and made a guide to it that anyone can download\n
- it has to be convenient, immediate, because when I have things competing for my attention, I will move on. This means, people expect multi-platform\n
- They want it when they want it, from whatever portal they like and on whatever device they like, and they want it yesterday\nThey want to share it virally with their friends\n
- and they may even still buy the film on a DVD or other method - but they want access to all of these platforms. Here&#x2019;s one filmmaker who is using that to his advantage - Cory McAbee with Stingray Sam - offering easy ways to get it in multiple formats and with value added.\n
- and get it on mobile- one of the biggest trends recently and in coming years, which I&#x2019;m not devoting enough time to today. \n
- and they want it free, whether with ad support or through piracy\n
- Now has morphed into Vodo, to launch soon\n
- multiple access points, transmedia - \n
- Cross media allows them to become active participants in multiple parts of the story. It allows them to delve deeper into the experience if they so choose, or access it from their preferred medium. The idea is to expand the story line into multiple media. The Matrix is the most famous recent example\n

- we know less about audience than any other industry; we ignore what they tell us (not pay per use); we spend less time thinking about them; few people focus on it in plans and it is the only thing that matters\n

- Keep budgets low 250-500K max; raise enough to distribute and market\n
- Keep budgets low 250-500K max; raise enough to distribute and market\n
- There&#x2019;s an old marketing theory that says people don&#x2019;t go to store to buy a &#xBC;&#x201D; drill, but because they want a &#xBC;&#x201D; hole. don&#x2019;t go to the store to buy a hammer. They go there because they want to hang a picture, to get something done, and the hammer just helps them do it.\n
- I love seeing a movie in a theater, but let&#x2019;s face it &#x2013; that was a tool for Hollywood to pack as many people into one space and make money off their desire to escape. It was a tool to have a fun night out, but it was only one tool. \n
- these aren&#x2019;t new behaviors but what people wanted to do all along\nWe now have new tools, and we can&#x2019;t fight it, but need to embrace them to our benefit. The audience wants to build something &#x2013; they can get your hammer for free, or you can give them a reason to buy it. They also want to interact with you in new ways, so use these tools to your advantage. People can collect around your film, watch it and interact with it in new ways now. And we have new ways of reaching them and engaging them. \n\n
- what&#x2019;s next? also - can&#x2019;t predict past, or know present, but future is easy to see on horizon\n
