Visual Networking from the Cinequest Film Festival
The Cinequest Film Festival, a foreign and independent festival currently taking place in downtown San Jose, CA, is staying true to its Silicon Valley roots by empowering film makers through innovation, particularly through visual networking.
Most of the time when we discuss visual networking on this blog, it’s from the context of the consumer, using a combination of video and social networking capabilities. What I learned from my conversation with Cinequest co-founder Halfdan Hussey, is how Cinequest is leveraging the internet to empower film makers through visual networking as a means of distribution.
Take a look at this video to hear Halfdan’s thoughts on empowering independent film makers to distribute their content as the integration of the internet, TV and home entertainment system becomes more prolific around the globe.

Great interview! Cinequest did a great job with not only the festival but the mentor program and distribution they’ve set up for top notch films.
