Coptix Promotes Chattanooga Film Festival with BackRowFilms.com
Chattanooga design and technology company Coptix, Inc has designed and launched a new website to publicize this summer's Back Row Film Series.
A joint program of the Chattanooga Arts and Education Council, Hunter Museum and UTC, the film series kicked off last month at Girls' Preparatory School with a competition among shorts created by area directors and the Chattanooga premiere of "Suburban Tumbleweed" by Nashville filmmaker Seth Worley. Once a month throughout the summer events will be held at the Hunter, featuring films including a mockumentary produced by Spike Lee, a screening of 1992 favorite "Like Water for Chocolate" with locally catered food and chocolates, and a film about the making of Chattanooga's public art that commemorates the Trail of Tears. At each event the film experience is enhanced by live performances of original scores, presentations by film creators and workshops on screenwriting, filmmaking and editing. The series concludes in September with a panel discussion about an icon of Appalachian film, "Deliverance".
Since the series is sponsored by local community organizations and businesses and supports local talent, organizers came to Chattanooga's leading design and technology company, Coptix, Inc, to create its website. Coptix designed and developed a website that appeals to the filmmakers as well as fans, promoting the series online, and also created print posters and brochures at the request of the Arts & Education Council.
"The Back Row Film Series is a new initiative, so we knew that marketing and branding would be the key to our success,” said Laurel Eldridge of the Arts & Education Council. “We chose to work with Coptix because they have demonstrated the creative and technical expertise for effectively delivering our message to target audiences. Each designer assigned to our project--from print to web--was not only easy to work with, but committed to the excellence of their work."
"The Back Row Film Series can really further Chattanooga's arts community, and the wider reputation of what Chattanooga offers, by bringing unique films and learning opportunities that locals might not have been able to experience otherwise" said Coptix Vice President Josiah Roe. "The internet is a great support resource for this, not only by keeping the public informed about the series' events but by creating a third level of interactivity to audience experience and strengthening what is a very young brand."
