filMixer announces the launch of a new social network for film and media makers with an eye toward providing a web and mobile distribution platform for independent filmmakers within the context of an integrated social network.

Beverly Hills, CA, January 17, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) - Launched this week as a free service for members of the film and media content creating community, filMixer offers its members a platform for engagement around visual and creative content as well as a place for distribution of their work. 'Although there are many services and aggregators that offer distribution for long and short form content on the web as well as mobile devices, our service will provide our members a social context for exhibition of their work within an industry peer network.', says Marco Santiago, founder of filMixer.tv.

Consumption of mobile content continues to accelerate with the continued penetration of mobile devices, which is estimated to be around 1 billion as of the 3rd quarter of 2012.1 At the same time, form factors continue to push the screen size of these devices up, with smart phones now pushing past 5 inches. 'These are encouraging trends from an independent filmmaker's perspective because it does two things - it supports a broader audience that is not encumbered by traditional distribution barriers, while at the same time improves the viewing experience on a platform that is increasingly the defecto means by which to view media. You go to an airport and it's become increasingly obvious that many people with their heads down are looking right into their smart phones watching some sort of video while they wait around. It's become ubiquitous', Marco continues.

filMixer provides a service that helps aggregate people around a common interest that encourage professional and social interaction with tools and features that are practical and engaging. These include upload and viewing of picture and video, forums, featured and user generated groups around specific areas of interest, blogging, event creation and invitation with integration to outlook, chat, search, alerts, and activity feeds. These and many more features help support and enrich the user experience as a means of aggregating membership around independent filmmaking.
