MobileMonday Toronto to Address Made-For-Mobile Video

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2007) - MobileMonday Toronto today announced that its next chapter meeting will feature a presentation from Toronto based Mobifest, the world's largest independent mobile film festival. Duncan Kennedy, Executive Producer of Mobifest, will attend. His talk will focus on the business of made-for-mobile video, and the challenges involved in creating a return on investment with on content which is customized for mobile devices.

The meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday, November 5th, 6:30 PM at the Fort York Armory.

"Mobifest is proud to be a part of the growing made-for-mobile film industry," says Duncan Kennedy. "By focusing on helping filmmakers enter and exploit this new medium, we hope to provide a new venue for modern storytelling and Canadian filmmakers." Added Jim Brown and Alexander S. Bosika, co-founders of MobileMonday Toronto, "the opportunities are endless in mobile film and perhaps Toronto will become home to the next mobile version of James Cameron. We're going to see a totally new generation of film-makers creating their work specifically for the mobile medium. This is truly exciting."

Unlike traditional film festivals, Mobifest submissions are kept under 60 seconds and created specifically for the "small screen" - either for mobile phones, smartphones or other handheld devices.

Content is a key factor in the growth and development of the mobile category. According to a new study by mobile market research firm M:Metrics, the U.S. mobile video audience grew by more than one-third this year to eight million. Viewership for video delivered on-deck increased 28% since January 2007 to 2.7 million, a promising sign for mobile publishers and advertisers. Boosting demand for carrier's on-deck programming have been aggressive promotion, wider distribution of 3G phone, and more compelling content. Almost 30% of U.S. mobile phone users own video-capable mobile phones.

Mobifest will present at the next MobileMonday Toronto meeting on Monday November 5th at 6:30pm. No RSVP is required and attendance is open to everyone. Meetings are held on the first Monday each month (exceptions: holiday months) at the Fork York Armory (2nd Floor) located at 660 Fleet Street just west of Fort York Blvd. Free parking is available on Garrison Rd. (just left of the Armory entrance) and behind the Armory. The location is easily accessible by the TTC from Bathurst station. Google Map details can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/3c9pp4.
