b'The aftereffects of the 2019 International Mobile Film Festival are euphoric. There was an energy and vibe throughout the two-day event which had an impact with everyone who was a part of the event in San Diego. We sat down for a discussion two days after the film festival with the president of Indiana Filmmakers Network, Nathan Bechtold before his flight back to Indiana. Listen to Episode 56 of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking as we discuss the festival, the people, the vibe, the energy and the resources and opportunities IFN has for filmmakers in and outside Indiana.\\n\\nWe began sharing the Indiana Filmmakers Network with Nathan but we were both still \\u201chungover\\u201d from the aftereffects of the weekend\\u2019s IMFF 2019. The information Nathan shared about IFN benefits everyone and anyone who happens to be, or plans to be, making a film in the state of Indiana. IFN has several hubs throughout the state providing a physical resource filmmakers. It also has a strong online presence through its groups on social media. \\n\\nWe share how IFN benefits someone who is looking to make a film with traditional equipment, since that is the base of their members. However, through a partnership with the #MobilizeStories Community Network by the International Mobile Film Festival, it is opening the door to filmmakers using smartphone cameras as well. In fact, IFN held a short contest for anyone in Indiana to make short films with their smartphones to feature in this year\\u2019s #MFF2019SanDiego and Nathan showcased them on Sunday as part of the program. \\n\\nEpisode 56 discusses IFN\\u2019s resources for all filmmakers regardless of what camera you use to share your stories as films and then we dive into what it was like for Nathan to witness IMFF in person. \\n\\nNathan\\u2019s biggest impression seemed to be the vibe and the support between all the filmmakers in the space where we held our film festival at Marina Village Conference Center. Nathan noted the welcoming atmosphere from the minute a filmmaker or attendee walked into the festival throughout the course of the program, the sessions and the entire event in general. People connected. People shared stories\\u2026and hugs. Although a podcast is an audio format, you can almost see the light in his eyes as he describes the experience. \\n\\nListen to the conversation which brings a lot of mentions from people we both know in Indiana. One of those people, whom we did not mention was one of the judges from the IMFF short film competition, Demetrius Witherspoon. Demetrius is also a member of the Indiana Filmmakers Network. \\n\\nFollow Indiana Filmmakers Network (IFN) on Social Media:\\n\\nWebsite: http://indianafilmmakers.org\\n\\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/5382449841/about/\\n\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/indianafilmnet\\n\\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/indianafilmmakers/\\n\\nOur Links: \\n\\nGet all the details about this year\\u2019s film festival: https://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com/news/35-smartphone-filmmakers-share-stories-in-san-diego\\n\\nSubscribe, support and listen to bonus episodes and more on Patreon: http://patreon.com/sbppodcast\\n\\nSBP Podcast Blog: http://sbppodcast.wordpress.com\\n\\nSBP Podcast Website: http://sbppodcast.studio\\n\\niTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sbp-podcast/id1296673665\\n\\nInternational Mobile Film Festival Website: http://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com\\n\\nFacebook: http://facebook.com/sbppodcast\\n\\nTwitter: http://twitter.com/sbppodcast\\n\\nHashtag: MobilizeStories Mobile Film Community Website: http://mobilizestories.com\\n\\nSusy Botello on Twitter: http://twitter.com/susybotello\\n\\nSBP Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ISEF0SZOLyRpw20loXzlo#upsell\\n\\nSmartphone Filmmaking Publication on Medium: https://medium.com/smartphonefilmmaking\\n\\nAre you starting a Podcast?
