JULIA PONTECORVO REPORTS FROM POWER TO THE PIXEL
The annual Power to the Pixel conference wrapped in London last week. Participating was transmedia producer Julia Pontecorvo with her project, The Rodshire Archives. Below is her report on pitching at the event. I was very excited when I found out my transmedia project The Rodshire Archives was chosen by Power to the Pixel as one of the finalists in its second annual Pixel Pitch held in London this past week. What made this pitch competition distinct from others offering cash prizes is the one-on-one meetings they set up for all nine finalists. Liz Rosenthal and Tishna Molla, the forum’s […]

PGA: TRANSMEDIA PRODUCERS HAVE ARRIVED
Okay, I guess it’s official now. As Deadline Hollywood is reporting, the Producer’s Guild of America has officially created a new category for the “transmedia producer.” From Nikki Finke’s piece: I’ve learned that a significant All-Boards meeting for the Producers Guild of America took place tonight. Sources tell me that the members voted on a series of amendments that qualify individuals as professional producers. More importantly, for the first time in the guild’s history, they voted on and ratified a new credit — that of the Transmedia Producer — which had been shepherded by such Hollywood names as Mark Gordon, […]
