When a filmmaker enjoys a certain amount of success, it most likely means they have some fans that have rallied around their work. In this new age of branding, however, a true fan has become a much bigger part of the filmmaking process.
Filmmakers CHRIS MANCINI and GARY DEOCAMPO join us in a discussion about the role of fans in our lives and work.
Fans are more than just our audience. They can also finance a project via crowdfunding or promote a movie thanks to word of mouth on social networks. The dark side of fandom is that those same supporters can also be a destructive force.
Listen to some of our experiences with fans and ways to build a beautiful friendship.
