Technicolor Launches Creative District, an Online Professional Network for Filmmakers and Creative Professionals to Collabora...
26 Mars 2014 - 5:00PM
Creative District, a venture backed by Technicolor (Euronext
Paris:TCH) (OTCQX:TCLRY), launches today an online professional
network for filmmakers and other creative professionals to connect,
collaborate, display and develop their projects. The platform
offers creatives a new networking experience to establish and
maintain valuable professional relationships online. Whether users
are looking to hire a team, get feedback on their project, or
acquire the right gear or location, Creative District is designed
to connect them to the right people at the right time to get their
projects done.
"Creative projects require a different approach to securing
talent. Creative workers jump from project to project and often
discover opportunities through word of mouth or social networks.
Creative District provides a place to display their portfolio of
work, find the best collaborators to help complete their projects,
build their network, and take their careers and work to the next
level," explains Creative District General Manager, Micki
Krimmel.
The network makes it easy for users to highlight their portfolio
of creative work at one destination and allows them to customize
and share content-rich profiles and project pages with text, video,
and photos. Project owners can highlight their current
collaborators and post open positions to find new ones. With these
features, Creative District provides filmmakers and other creative
professionals a place to showcase their experience to attract more
work and expand their network of talent.
Technicolor, a worldwide technology leader in the media and
entertainment sector, developed the initial Creative District
concept and is funding the venture. Creative District is another
example of Technicolor's innovative approach to serving the entire
creative life cycle from ideation to appreciation.
"In the last decade, the new digital age has drastically reduced
the price of content creation and distribution, allowing millions
of new creators to enter the market," says Alejandro Guerrero,
Managing Partner, Technicolor New Ventures. "We are excited to
support and empower this new generation of artists through Creative
District, continuing Technicolor's legacy as a trusted partner to
the community."
As part of Creative District's commitment to help film and media
makers create more, it has established a Grant Program to
distribute up to $5,000 in monthly grants to further support the
creative community. March's grant was awarded to directors
Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers to help finish their comedy
Fort Tilden, which premiered at this year's SXSW Festival and won
the Grand Jury Prize for best narrative feature. Other notable
films on the platform include Joe Donovan Project, a documentary
from Jason Pugatch and Casey Affleck, and popular indie filmmaker
Arin Crumley's upcoming feature.
