How to Engage an Audience Before & After You Make Your Indie Film

Today's guest is Kia Kiso, co=producer of the hugely successful indie film Mile… Mile & A Half. Kia and her team where case studies in last weeks guest RB Botto's book Crowdsourcing for Filmmakers: Indie Film and the Power of the Crowd because of the amazing job they did crowdsourcing. Check out the trailer below.

In an epic snow year, five friends leave their daily lives behind to hike California’s historic John Muir Trail, a 211-mile stretch from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the contiguous U.S.).  Their goal — complete the journey in 25 days while capturing the amazing sights & sounds they encounter along the way.  Inspired by their bond, humor, artistry & dedication, the group continues to grow: to include other artists, musicians & adventure seekers.  Before they all reach the summit, hikers and viewers alike affirm the old adage — it’s about the journey, not the destination. Mile… Mile & A Half is the feature-length documentary of that journey…

Kia Kiso discusses how they identified, reached out and engaged before and after the production of her film. This episode is a PERFECT companion to lasts weeks (listen to that episode here). Get ready to be inspired and take notes! Enjoy my conversation with Kia Kiso.

IFH 231: How to Engage an Audience Before & After You Make Your Indie Film with Kia Kiso

;;;;;;;;;New EP out SOON;;;;;;;;;

Tick, tock, tick, tock, squawk..

From the scum of the great water, after the dredge, in the sludge, shiny happy little toys did remain.

Many years passed. ..

Disguised as just another plaything, the toys arrived, in boxes, sweet little glittery pills, shiny, sparkling, addictive.. Here a chorus from a Boston séance. There, a boxcar shampoo hook, sleepy Athens, Georgia style. Everywhere, cold Wire synth washes, sprinkles, jabs and prefab lilts sprouting. Stories from before, during and after the days of the great plains. Decidedly New Wave..

Executives played with the toys, they played and played, soon they became alive and broke rank, exploding with mischievous energy, sparking, fizzlin, and taking the suits down with 'em.
