Perhaps this is a little bit of blatant promotion, but I am working on a very exciting project at the moment that takes social networking to the film industry - Icewhole.com

It’s an entirely ColdFusion powered site with an MSSQL backend and On2 Flash encoding engine powering the film and music video sections of the site. It’s still in beta form with plenty more improvements to come in the near future, but the crux of the site is that it empowers independent film makers to network with other professionals in their industry to help them produce and showcase their films.

Short films can be uploaded and promoted on the site (much like youtube, but better quality and at a targeted audience), with various awards handed out each month for uploaded films as voted by a panel of judges including names such as Morgan Freeman and Richard Attenborough.

There are some great films showcased on the site already so do visit and check them out, leave a comment for these young, upcoming filmmakers and if you like the site, signup as a “Film Fan”. If you have friends in the film industry casting directors are already perusing the site for potential talent so it’s the place to be if you’re in the industry and want to get noticed.

It’s exciting to be involved in such an innovative, exciting project with much more to come soon!

    There are now thousands of social networks that cater to a whole variety of subjects. These smaller, focused sites allow users to connect with like-minded people and give advertisers targeted demographics. Niche social networks are also good for marketers who have a product or service they want to promote that relates to a particular interest. A good place to find them is this search engine for social networking sites.
