Filmmaker Tiffany Shlain, who is also the founder of The Webby Awards, kicked off this year's TFI Interactive with the presentation of her “Cloud Filmmaking Manifesto.” In the video above she describes her new participatory way of making films collaboratively with people all over the world. Shlain has released three of these films to date, customized for free for nearly 500 nonprofits worldwide (part of the Cloud Filmmaking concept), and the last one, Brain Power: From Neurons to Networks, was just selected by the US State Department as one of the films to represent America in the 2013-14 American Film Showcase. In this keynote she shows how she makes these films as well as premiere a film on cloud filmmaking.
TFI Interactive is the all-day event our Digital Initiatives department headed with leadership support from the Ford Foundation during the Tribeca Film Festival that's dedicated to inspire content creators.
