Pier Screening
Last month we sent out a mass email asking for help qualifying an episode of ReelerTV Weekly for New TeeVee's Pier Screening event. Even though we had one of the highest ratings and view count, our episode was a little too long and we didn't quite qualify. They're having another screening this month and we would really like to get in, but we need help. Please go to their website: screenings.newteevee.com/ and find our video titled, "ReelerTV @ Tribeca Film Festival #06". Click it, watch it (if you haven't already seen it) and if you don't mind registering (should be quick) you can vote. We suggest 5 stars, but we're a little biased.
While you're there, if you like reading web 2.0, online video and tech stuff, click around New TeeVee. It's part of a larger web community called GigaOm. It's all my daily reading.
Here's some details below about what the Pier Screening series is all about.
August 29 Pier Screenings: Citizen News
We’re closing out our summer San Francisco Pier Screenings series, and are bringing the event back to the pier. For the month of August, we're soliciting contributions in the category of "citizen news." What does that mean? Any non-fiction, short-form video created that tells a story about something out there in the universe.
Could be a documentary, could be a news spot, could be an interview, could be a cellphone-cam clip of an important event. Please keep it under five minutes and make sure you own the rights. We're looking for compelling videos that showcase a unique perspective or analysis.
We’ll be judging the videos this month based on number of views, votes cast, and stars received on the NewTeeVee Pier Screenings site. The top six videos will be shown at the live event on August 29 on a large 16-foot outdoor screen at a pier in San Francisco. The live audience at the event will choose the top three winners for the night. Metacafe will promote the top three audience winners from the live event on its front page, and Fabrik will be giving away high capacity hard drives (think 1 terabyte).
Thanks for all your continued support.
