Twittamentary Blog

I have been working on the Twittamentary project for close to 3 years and this past week has been one of the most exciting.  Not only did the film make its debut at the Cinequest Film Festival in the Silicon Valley on Mar 3rd, we also had 11 screenings around the world. Most of these events are community screenings hosted by Twitter'ers who want to share the film with their tribe.

Our next stop is SXSW interactive. We will have screenings on Mar 9 at 2:30pm and Mar 13 at 3pm at the Alcatel-Lucent Trends Lounge, one of the hotspots for SXSWi action.  Tickets are running out fast, so grab them here! 

I will be speaking on the panel for the mini 140 characters conference on Mar 12 3-6pm. 

We will also doing smaller, more spontaneous 'pop-up' screenings on the fringes of SXSWi so watch out for a flash mob on the #twittamentary hashtag.

Feel free to give me a shout via Twitter @sioksiok or the Twittamentary crew @twittamentary. We'd be happy to do a tweetup or even an impromptu screening.

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.
