Flicklist at San Francisco Film Fest’s A2E Launchpad

On May 3rd and 4th, I’ll be taking part in the San Francisco Film Fest’s new A2E Launchpad, with Flicklist. Our app has been quite slow to launch, but we’re in private beta and moving to public soon, and quite appropriately, we’re doing it by talking to filmmakers about how they can use Flicklist to connect to audiences. 

A2E is a new initiative from the SFFS now that Ted Hope has taken over- and he’s a partner in Flicklist, so we thought it would be the perfect place to talk about this new venture. The line-up looks great. Here’s more info from their site:

“The cinematic landscape has changed – there are virtually no barriers to access and our increasingly fragmented audiences are faced with an overwhelming abundance of content. This new landscape needs new tools, strategies and practices and the San Francisco Film Society is focused on helping artists, audiences, investors and industry navigate the emerging terrain. 

A2E is intent on providing artists with entrepreneurial skills. Led by San Francisco Film Society Executive Director and indie film veteran Ted Hope, pioneers of independent film’s digital era will join forces this under this banner of programming to plot our bright future. 

A2E explores what can happen when we bring an abundance of talent, imagination and expertise together. 

A2E is where storytelling and entrepreneurial culture intersect. A2E builds upon San Francisco’s culture of innovation utilizing Silicon Valley’s philosophy in order to succeed: fail fast, fail often, share the results.”

There’s some great companies taking part too: Vimeo, Fandor, Assemble and more. Check out the full list at the SFFS website, and contact me if you’ll be there and want to learn more about Flicklist.
