Shake up at SXSW
Janet Pierson will take over as SXSW Film Producer from Matt Dentler, who will be moving to a position at John Sloss’s company, Cinetic. He will head the programming operations of the newly formed Cinetic Rights Management.
Anne's got a good, long post about it here.
When I talked to Janet today, she was utterly thrilled. Furthering what SXSW has been doing for years, she's interested in using the fest to explore alternative distrib options for filmmakers by keeping the film and interactive sections close.
And Matt's also not going anywhere in terms of new media. Within his title are the word marketing and programming, meaning not only will he be selling content for online, he'll also be promoting it. No word yet on projects.
