Emily Carr @ SXSW

 

We are the "higher education institute working on a social media survey". More about our project with Vision Critical here

"Generation Social follows three Vancouver social media stories: a social start-up; a higher education institute working on a social media survey; and a moneymaking blogger. Together, they demonstrate the demographics of social media users, advancements in technology, the effect of social media on different generations, and, of course, personal branding (thanks, in large part, to the industrious John Chow). If you’re at all interested in how human nature works as a driving force for change in social media, then this afternoon of film and fun is most certainly for you.

Hosted by HootSuite, Vision Critical and Reelhouse, the screening is open to all, and a panel discussion about the convergence of social media and film will follow, featuring members of the cast and the film’s producers.
