Getting the footage to filmmakers
What is the best way to spread the word, and get this footage to filmmakers? And other creatives? Any ideas welcome.
I have spent the last few days sending out emails and press releases to various publications and blogs. Encore magazine were kind enough to publish a story on Friday, which lead to a potential TV interview from a Foxtel channel watched by approximately 1 million people (will share more when I can). Very excited about this though.
I am also trying to work out how to use Facebook in a promotional way. Back in the days of Myspace it was easy to reach out and find like-minders, Facebook seems to be all about waiting for people to come to you. Perhaps a 'like' button on the site might help?
Anyway, any ideas or suggestions as to how to reach the right people with our idea are greatly welcome.
Press and general stray excitement
By michelle, 7 months ago - No Comments
I have just spent the last couple of days sending out the press release. It's been a while since I have done that. To be completely honest, I wasn't sure if we were going to continue with Stray until this years round of footage became available.
I am really excited about the quality of this year's footage, our aim is to improve it year on year. I feel we have really done that, with this round being shot by industry professionals, and a feature film.
I can't wait to see where it all leads.

Today we released the new round of Stray Cinema footage available for download on our website.
We are very excited about the quality and length of this years footage. The footage has been provided by Brothers Young Pictures, taken from their indie feature film Beginning, Middle and End (not yet released).
We have increased the length of the film submissions from 2-6 minutes. Here is a video with more detail about the footage.
There is so much footage to work with, really looking forward to seeing what stories people are going to tell with it.
