We encounter stories throughout our daily lives. We are living at a time where we carry a tool that can capture a story and share it with the world. \n\nCK Goldiing records his encounters and challenges with his smartphone and one of them is a film that is going viral. CK came to speak during the International Mobile Film Festival #MFF2019SanDiego and we featured his film, 61 Hugs which he shot with his Samsung smartphone. Episode 57 of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking is a conversation with CK on his last day before he flew back to the UK with a high potential to inspire storytellers to use their phone cameras to share their stories.\n\nThe conversation with CK began casually with his film, 61 Hugs. But it soon becomes passionate as we discuss the storytelling aspect of video and film. We speak about how a moment can turn into a great story and some of that has to do with what people are willing to share with you when they trust you. \n\nThe other aspect of recording moments is distribution. We asked CK his preference and one thing he shares is how he doesn\u2019t limit the potential of his videos by restricting them to a particular manner of distribution such as a series. However, he does have a series of videos in his YouTube channel with some videos becoming popular. 61 Hugs is going viral, not as a part of the series, but as a film. \n\nCK Goldiiing has his own marketing agency and he knows how to reach out to the press which he did for his film and his marketing skills are a great example of how you can help your film go viral. The main point he wanted to share was that his film was a human story. He also gives our listeners some insights on how to get traction for your film or story to get it press attention.\n\nCK discusses giving his film \u201cas much oxygen as possible.\u201d In order to do that, he had to not feel \u201cicky\u201d about sharing the film, and that is part of the challenge for content creators. Where you feel like perhaps you have already shared your film on Twitter enough but, no you haven\u2019t. And there are always people who may see it today who did not see it yesterday. \n\nThe experience of being a part of the film festival in San Diego meant a lot for CK, and he shares the essence of what drives us to organize it each year. IMFF 2019 was the 8th edition and we celebrated Stories! as the theme during the 10th anniversary since it was launched in 2009. \n\nCK thanks each of the sponsors for this year\u2019s film festival. He also challenged creators to listen to his advice on getting traction with their projects with a Seven-Day Challenge to \u201cgive oxygen\u201d to their creations and share their results with CK.
