MOVING STORIES would like to invite savvy corporate partners with a eye to a well-educated, literate, contemporary target audience to reach their marketing goals by participating in this inaugural Festival. We have compiled a Sponsorship Guide, available on request, as a means by which to explore opportunities that most closely match our partner’s priorities. Our Festival is still at the planning stages, which means there are still plenty of ways we can deliver the best possible experience for our early partners.
Here are some of the highlights of the upcoming program, a mere taste of the impact Moving Stories sponsorship will deliver:
• More than a dozen New and Original Films from around the world will screen during each Festival
presentation
• Sponsors who commit early have the added benefit of pre-roll, on-screen recognition in the program of films
• Festival films will go on a National Tour, extending sponsor visibility for up to one year
• Special event programming will host celebrities from the screen, stage and book shelves, ensuring front page press coverage
• VIPs will be given priority access to screenings, as well as first choice in value-add promotional programs and advertising

Distribution
April 17, 2008
With the Festival, we have set ourselves the following specific objectives:
1) To develop an engaged, loyal audience whose love of entertainment translates into fans and sales for the artists promoted by BookShorts and Book Expo. We do this by becoming a content aggregator and broadcaster, at the trade show, and by working with other digital, analog and non-traditional broadcasters to get our word-oriented media seen throughout the year. In addition to the live event at Book Expo, our media distribution network includes television, broadband and the Internet, retail and theatrical screenings, CD-ROM and DVD collections, interactive digital TV and more.
2) Our artistic objective is to create and curate high-production value, editorially strong content programming that is distinctly inspired by the written word, by working with publishers and authors in collaboration with screen-media creators and musicians. The resulting media properties can be delivered many times over many media platforms, earning recognition and revenue for the artists involved by means of the extended consumer reach.
3) Our industry objective is to bring together the complementary perspectives and talents of the BookShorts Partners, collectively representing expertise in Book Publishing, Film Production, Interactive Digital Media, Music Publishing, and Television Production, to leverage the incredible depth of expertise across disciplines. By doing so, we are creating exponentially higher return on marketing investment for the entertainment industry at large, and especially for the artists involved in the program.
