VIDFEST 2006 – Active Audiences
In “Active Audiences,” FanTrust President Catherine Warren introduces three fans-turned-superheros, everyday fans who are turning their passion for television and video games into book deals, business meetings with Yahoo, and video games that rival the big guys. Dismayed by the prevailing love-hate relationship studios all too often foster with their fans, Catherine plays couples therapist with the help of her master panel, demonstrating how, by embracing fan creativity and showing fans a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T, entertainment studios can expand revenues and reach.
“Active Audiences” offers expert insight into fan-written scripts and wikis, online fan economies, real-world relationships, and more.
