diy-days- The virtual event has evolved into an online and real world event which is broken into two parts. The first is a festival called From Here to Awesome which played out in theaters, living rooms, online and via mobile devices. The second part is a series of live conferences / discussions called DIY DAYS which were held in LA, SF, Boston, NYC and London in 2008.

Now DIY DAYS is expanding to include areas beyond film such as music, gaming, and software. This coming August DIY DAYS will kick off in Philadelphia with our biggest event yet. This is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come from the WorkBook Project.

incite-cinema-blog This site and this blog are therefore dedicated to inciting, enabling and empowering filmmakers around the globe. The future for independent filmmaking, like the future for virtually everything else, lies in the power and reach of the internet. There will always be a place for brick-and-mortar cinemas and for off-line film festivals. But – and I can’t stress this point passionately enough – the audience and the tools to reach them are online. Period. Live with it. Embrace it and the world is virtually at your beck and call. Reject or fear it at your peril.

  Link   Work Book Project
work-book-project The WorkBook Project (WBP) is for those who want to be creative in the digital age. The WBP, through its website, R&D projects such as festival From Here to Awesome and roving conference DIY Days, provides insight into the process of funding, creating, distributing and sustaining as a creator of media (film, games, music, design, software).Focused on innovation, new trends, cutting edge projects and an open approach to a once closed industry. The WBP offers a breath of fresh air by removing the competitive trappings of the media industry and replacing them with a collaborative and open system that shares resources, networking, information and knowledge.

What sets WBP apart is the fact that it is powered by people who are actually creating; “People that do.” The core of the WBP is made up by an evolving collection of innovators who make their process transparent. By capturing experiences from the frontlines of this new emerging convergent media industry the WBP finds itself at the forefront of an exploding global DIY movement. A movement where film, gaming, music design, and software collide to form experiences that reach and engage global audiences across multiple screens, devices and platforms.
