When I wrote my welcome message, I must have been subconsciously channeling information about an upcoming D-Word event! Filmmaker Lance Weiler will be taking questions and sharing his strategies for reaching audiences in a week-long online discussion at The D-Word Forum.

From D-Word founder Doug Block: “Wired Magazine has called Lance ‘One of twenty-five people helping to re-invent entertainment and change the face of Hollywood.’ For his latest low-budget feature, Head Trauma, he devised a highly successful hybrid distribution approach utilizing both traditional outlets and new technology which, at the same time, allowed him to retain the rights to his work. A strong believer in the power of social networking sites and building community and value for fans, he implemented an innovative grassroots marketing plan anchored largely at the film’s website.”

Mark your calendars now as it runs from Monday December 11 to December 15. You must register (free) to participate, but like past Forums, which are archived on the site for you to peruse, it promises to be a great discussion.
