Calgary, Alberta, September 1, 2011 - Kent Speakman, Engageia's President and
Managing Partner, is participating in the film screening of Teenage Paparazzo,
followed by a panel discussion on Social Media and Entertainment. The event is
taking place Thursday, September 8th, the opening night of the Toronto
International Film Festival.
The film was produced by Adrian Grenier star of the HBO series "Entourage", and
Evan Ferrante, producer at Reckless Productions. The film stars Grenier as
he documents the true story of his relationship with a 13 year-old paparazzo,
Austin Visschedyk in an effort to better understand this unique teenager's world
and gain insight into what motivates people to stalk the famous.
Following the screening there will be a Q&A session and panel discussion on how
social media and Apps are changing the way we watch and interact with our
favorite shows and celebrities. Grenier, a social media and a technology
enthusiast along with Kent Speakman, Trevor Doerksen, Mobovivo's founder and
CEO, and Evan Ferrante, will discuss with other panel guests and the audience
how technology is empowering independent film producers and fans in the App age.
"I am looking forward to this discussion with thought leaders in production and
distribution arenas, who both embrace and foster building communities and engage
in audience building strategies utilizing Social Media" said Kent Speakman in
regards to Grenier, Ferrante and Doerksen. "I have long been a strong advocate
of independent producers having both the responsibility and gift of leveraging
social media to build a following in Pre-Production, Production and then
throughout the films lifecycle."
The Teenage Paparazzo experience is also providing an opportunity for students -
the next generation of filmmakers - to participate in a film screening, a Q&A on
the film, Adrian's experiences as an actor and producer, and future of the
industry.
"We are very excited to be back in Toronto and able to share the Teenage
Paparazzo Experience with film students and industry leaders" said Adrian
Grenier. "We are really looking forward to having a great discussion on where
the movie business is going with new technology and social media."
