About FilmFellas Cast 2: Mumblecore and More
This creative and innovative new generation of filmmakers discuss the demands of breaking the barriers of the mainstream "Hollywood" independent film industry, staying true to your art, and finding non-traditional ways of film distribution such as the Internet and Video on Demand. The round table of directors elaborate on the dynamics of creating micro-film communities throughout numerous social networking sites and the use of viral marketing plans and screening rooms to engage audiences and build a legion of fans.

This was a great cast. Always get some amazing insight every FilmFellas. I think something like the Absolut Vodka short film was a great start!
