Anita Li:  "An infographic reveals how the film industry is using social media and viral marketing to compensate for declining ticket sales."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Another great infographic.

Justin Nalepa's curator insight, December 20, 2012 11:32 AM

In applying this to documentary filmmaking, I think the "Varied Monetization" section to be particularly interesting. As most documentary films don't have a very long or wide release in theatres, exploring other venues for splitting up the rights to your project may prove to be a more successful and lucrative option for most independent filmmakers. 

Jeni Mawter's curator insight, December 20, 2012 9:38 PM
