Twittamentary has been a film about community from the beginning.  When we were developing the film, Twitter users contributed story ideas and visual material.  Then they helped organiz 14 beta screenings on 3 different continents and shared valuable feedback that shaped the final cut of the film. 

Over the past year, we have received many requests from people across the world, offering to host film screenings.  So we are thrilled to announce an open call for community screenings to take place between Feb 1 and May 1st 2012.

If you'd like to host a screening, just drop an email to us:

You need to gather at least 20 people for the screening.
