Long-time readers of theFilmschoolSF Blog will remember a post from a few weeks back in which we talked about a how FilmschoolSF hosts such future-leading organizations like Ubiquitous Studio, Metaio and Spoilrr. We think exposing students to what the future may hold in terms of technological influence on filmmaking is an important part of a well-rounded education.

Recently the Transmedia group Spoilrr was taken over by FilmschoolSF Director of Marketing Christopher F. Smith.

“I’m thrilled to be take over this organization and look forward to building relationships with technology and filmmaking leaders and making Spoilrr an important part of the Bay Area media scene,” said Smith.

What is Transmedia? A quick refresher!

In transmedia storytelling, content becomes invasive and fully permeates the audience’s lifestyle. A transmedia project develops storytelling across multiple forms of media in order to have different “entry points” in the story; entry-points with a unique and independent lifespan but with a definite role in the big narrative scheme.

A great place to begin to learn about Transmedia and filmmaking is this excellent Slideshare from TransmediaStoryteller.com’s Robert Pratten. You’ll want to follow him on Twitter, too. #Tstoryteller.

The hashtag for all things Transmedia is, predictably, #Transmedia and the Spoilrr hashtag is #Spoilrr.

The next Spoilrr meetup in Tuesday, March 29th, 5:30 – 7:00 at SFSDF. RSVP and learn a few things!
