50 Indie Film Tweeters Worth Following on Twitter in 2013 – Part 1

Published On December 30, 2012 | By admin | Blog Post, Independent Film

images[1]With the end of 2012 coming up bringing a bright, shiny new year to celebrate next week I couldn’t help but think about how I started Filmmakers Notebook and joined Twitter as a result of that just a few short years ago.  Back then there weren’t as many independent filmmakers using social media and crowdfunding platforms like IndieGoGo and Kickstarter were just starting out so people willing to share information by tweet or blog posts really struck a chord with those of us who were eager to learn and wanted to network regardless of what our level of expertise was or where we were located. 

Keeping that in mind I thought I’d put a list together of some of my favorite tweeters who continue to try making a difference in the indie film world.  A few of them have more than one account (I’ve tried to include all names) and of course there are several others I wish I had the time and space to add.  This started as a list of 20 and is up to 50 already so I know I’ve missed more than a few and I also decided to publish it in 2 parts. There may be others you consider favorites and inspirations as well and I hope you let me know who they are so we can continue adding to this list.  In the meantime, here are the names I’ve come up with and be aware they’re not in any particular order. I hope you check them out and enjoy them. One last note, I just did a similar list for my column on Examiner.com focusing only on people and organizations in the Las Vegas independent filmmaking community which you can view at http://www.examiner.com/article/indie-film-people-worth-following-on-twitter-vegas-edition.
