Press release from Tropfest
Movie Extra Tropfest Australia is upping the digital ante for their 20th Birthday celebrations with the launch of their FREE interactive iPhone application from today.
iPhone users can now watch a great range of Tropfest Finalist films from over the years, as well as an exclusive selection of shortlisted films from last year’s competition.
With the world’s largest short film festival’s big night just around the corner – Sunday 19 February, Tropfest fans can also check out maps and event information for all nine Tropfest event sites across Australia and New Zealand.
Developed by digital agency, Captiv8, Trop fans with iPhones are guided through an interactive experience of short films, director bio’s and film information.
The app has been specially tailored for the avid Tropfest fan. With the ability to set up playlists of favourite films, movie buffs will now always have their favourite Tropfest films at their finger-tips.
“With the physical expansion of Tropfest 2012 to new locations in Wollongong, New Zealand and even New York, it was only natural to extend into the digital world of apps by developing a tailor-made user experience for the Tropfest fan base,” says John Polson, Tropfest Founder/Director
Tropfest is one of the world’s premiere launch pads for young and emerging filmmakers. There are some great prizes up for grabs, along with the kudos of winning the world’s largest short film festival. Finalists compete for a massive prize pool of cash, equipment and international travel valued at approximately $100,000, along with an unprecedented level of industry interest and attention.
The Tropfest App is now available from the Apple App Store. For more information, head to http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/tropfest/id496416861?mt=8 or www.tropfest.com
