If you guys ever heard the word 'crowdfunding', or have already understood the techniques of using your fanclub to build up your films, please, don't read on. But if you are among the majority of filmmakers and filmbuffs who have never heard of the terrific opportunities provided by social media for filmmakers - it's the blog you've been looking for. In the following weeks I'll do my best to:

• follow the world of social media filmmaking - check out my Tweets as well
• provide a wider scale of information on related topics
• let you know a bit more about my short film finished (check out Epilogue) and my feature prepped with strong social media background.

I'm learning it together with you - and thousands of filmmakers around the world. This is so new, so hot. Believe me.

But why would you use social media for filmmaking? Why do you need Twitter, Facebook, Youtube to make your very own film? What is it good for? I got several answers:

• you can find your hot story via socmed - and never lack sources
• you can develop your initial treatment via socmed - and find useful info
• you can survey your treatment before investing serious work - and decide whether or not to go with it
• you can write your script or have it written via socmed
• you can find your co-production partners via socmed
• you can finance your film via socmed
• you can prep your film via socmed
• you can test your prepped film right before shooting via socmed
• you can build a crew and cast via socmed
• you can do the post work and have immediate response via socmed
• you can test your film via socmed
