The Mill and the Mountain is going to the Cannes Film Festival!

After three months of intense marketing and campaigning, our feature film project (The Mill and the Mountain) was optioned by the CineCoup Film Accelerator. We will be shopped at the Cannes Film Festival by CineCoup’s Brad Pelman from May 15 – May 26.

There’s a long tradition of excellent mystery-thrillers in Europe (The Vanishing, Insomnia, The Killing, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Red Riding Trilogy) and we’re hoping our “Great Canadian Thriller” will connect with buyers and distributors at the festival.

Take a look at our Press & Promotions page and our latest “Spin Off” CineCoup mission below. Voting for the Top 5 projects starts May 29.

Final Cut Pro X vs. The Gutenberg Press…are we in the middle of a digital video revolution?

FCP.co has thrown down the gauntlet to the film and video production industry: catch up to new media or go the way of the dinosaur/music industry.

Okay, that was a pretty dramatic one-sentence summary (naturally) but we totally agree that there is a cold war going on between traditional broadcasters and new media. In their Is Final Cut Pro X going to do to video what Gutenberg did with printing? posting, FCP.co suggests that in the same way the Gutenberg press made the mass production of the written word possible, Final Cut Pro X will do the same for high-quality video.

The good news for businesses: video production doesn’t cost the same amount it did ten years ago when it was using film. That said, make sure to do your homework so you understand the time and costs involved in creating digital video products for your business or services.

Over the next few weeks on steamywindowproductions.com, we’ll be sharing our thoughts on the holy, digital-video trinity:

1) Why digital video?
2) What makes a great video for online audiences
3) What businesses should look for from a digital video production company that specializes in online content

TipList: a fantastic app for travel fanatics with great taste

One of our favourite publicists in San Francisco (Rebecca at Rsquared Communication) got in touch with us today about a great new travel app called TipList.
It’s simple to use and connects to your Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare profiles.

I remember sitting around with friends over a bottle of wine recently where someone asked, “Oh hey, I’m going to New York next week. Could you make a list of places I should see?” This is the perfect app for trips inspired by friends and family. We can’t wait to use it on our next trip.
