(PRWEB) March 16, 2005 -- This year by special arrangement mFlix, the
independent mobile film channel - will hold the first in a series of hands-on
Mobile Filmmaking Masters Classes for the filmmakers at Aspen ShortsFest in
Aspen Colorado.
The Aspen ShortsFest is widely recognized as one of the
world's premiere showcases for short film and video. Aspen ShortsFest is one of
only a few festivals worldwide recognized by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts
& Sciences® as able to send its top prize winners to compete for the Oscars
®. Other recognized film festivals include (but are limited to) Cannes Festival
International Du Film, Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, Sundance
Film Festival, and The Toronto Worldwide Short Film Festival.
mFlix is
the first and largest independent film channel community dedicated to mobile
film and animation, and is also the first in the independent film channel to
receive national distribution on mobile phones in America, on the Sprint
network. mFlix was launched at 'The World's Smallest Film Festival' at CTIA.
mFlix is also now seen the United Kingdom on the O2
network.
"Professional outreach programs such as our 'Mobile Filmmaking
Masters Classes' held in April with Aspen ShortsFest allow us to equip
independent filmmakers with the information and tools they need to be involved
in the growing and mobile medium" said Juliette Deinum of mFlix. "Rather than
simply let the studios and major brands dominate mobile media as they do
television and film, we aim for a permanent seat at the table for the
independent filmmaker, musician, animator, and artist. mFlix is the pre-eminent
distribution channel for these as well as tomorrow's cutting-edge filmmakers,
and while we help them we are planting the seeds for continued high-quality film
submissions to mFlix."
