Online i-Doc Wins New Media Award

 

My Millennial Life continues to garner attention. We’ve recently been awarded the Best New Media award from the New Media Film Festival in Los Angeles for our interactive online documentary. If you haven’t checked it out yet, definitely be sure to do so. And of course, a big congratulations to our collaborators Helios Design Labs for their incredible work on the digital doc.

My Millennial Life screened Saturday, October 1 across the pond at London’s Raindance Film Festival. I wasn’t able to go, but our distributor TVF International represented the film. Julian Chou-Lambert (TVF) was there and had a dynamic conversation with the audience:

“[There was] lots of lively debate afterward during the Q&A. Both millennials and boomers were interested in the film – one man gave a particularly moving testimony about how his millennial son had been going through a very tough year, and that he had learned a lot of new perspectives from the film. Many were interested in the social campaign side of the doc, too.” Continue reading “MY MILLENNIAL LIFE PLAYS AT RAINDANCE FILM FESTIVAL”
