As you might have noticed lately, Spout is working on a number of fronts to further the connection between awareness (the goal of a marketing campaign) and consumption (the goal of a distribution strategy) for filmmakers and other stakeholders in a film’s success.

It’s important to remember, though, that continued conversation plays a big role in defining the future of a film can connect with its audience and vice-versa. Issues are still being hashed out and case-studies still being written that can be used for future reference.

That’s why we leapt at the chance to be a sponsor of the Slamdance Film Festival that kicks off this week. Specifically, Spout is sponsoring a day of conversations around new media marketing and distribution on Monday the 19th. The chat panel will be happening at the Treasure Mountain Inn (map link here) at 12:30 Monday afternoon, and there’s a brunch before that beginning at 10:00 AM.

The full press release is pasted below. If you’re going to be in Park City and would like to meet up drop me an email (chris-at-spout-dot-com), DM me on Twitter (@cthilk) or just drop a comment below. I’m excited to be out there and look forward to meeting up with some of the people who, like Spout, are leading the conversation about new marketing and distribution models.

–Chris Thilk, Director of Marketing
