Director of Manhattan Multimedia, Malcolm Burt details his research on the age of the internet and its real impact on the marketing of film in the contemporary marketplace.
Current and future implications for Producers
Although the music and film industries merge in many ways, their marketing seems to be converging, and the Internet is both a blessing and a threat to them both. The file sharing services offering music content can just as easily offer films, and users with broadband connections have wasted no time amassing both.
Owner of MMMEDIA - a film, television and interactive agency, Malcolm is the creator and producer of the ten part ABCTV ‘One Small Room’ series, and his upcoming 3 x 1hr international documentary ‘Under’ and Hi-Definition feature film ‘Trolley Boy’ have both secured U.S distribution. He is also producing the ‘Frocks Off’ series of 30 x 30 second interstitials with SBS.
Malcolm has discussed film and media on radio, TV and at conferences and is also a lecturer with the Qld School of Film and Television and soon to be teaching at AFTRS. He is a writer with over 30 articles published nationally and internationally on film and media subjects as well as his postgraduate research topic of Online Film Security, and is currently writing a book for emerging producers.
He also likes the noddy dogs that sit on car dashboards.
