How is it that an application, which has already established a database of 100 million users, is able to claim the people’s copyrights simply by changing its terms and conditions with one notification email? Apparently, it’s not uncommon among social media sites.

Coincidentally, Slamdance programmed filmmaker Cullen Hoback’s documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply for the 2013 Festival, before any of this happened, which addresses the very subject.

What are we doing about it?
In the Slamdance style, we’re getting a little rebellious by bombarding the scene. To get involved, all you have to do is post a photo via your Instagram app between January 14-January 24, 2013 that shows us your fearless response to these new policies and parades your independent artistry. For extra credit, strap on your SlamTie (Slamdance Logo) and show us where you think a little Slamdance is needed. Photoshop, print, or display your SlamTie on your phone, then caption your photo with @Slamogram #slamdance2013. To encourage your expression, we are giving away two Slambrand T-shirts! Keep in mind - just because you don’t win a tee doesn’t mean we won’t give you a shout-out – Slamdance staff will be going through their favorites every few days and sharing your photos as your artwork.

Consideration dates run January 14, 2012 – January 24, 2013. Two winners will be chosen - 1 with the most ‘likes’ and 1 chosen by Slamdance staff. And remember: Slamdance is run democratically, so it won’t be one sole person making the call. Winners will be notified via Instagram and Twitter.

- Follow @Slamogram on your Instagram app.
- Upload a photo with your Instagram app between January 14, 2012-January 24, 2013 that is specifically relative to subject matter as noted above
- Caption your photo @Slamogram #Slamdance2013

By entering the contest (captioning a photo @Slamogram #Slamdance2013), participants agree that their work may be shared by @Slamogram.

Happy Slamming!

"The Slamdance rocket was designed to resemble a jet engine with a steering wheel, something that's fast and rugged, but also pretty dangerous. We wanted the style to follow that lead. By playing with some very two-dimensional elements and mixing it with the style of early painted movie posters, we're aiming for a scrappy Americana feel."

About Yankee Peddler: Yankee Peddler is a motion graphic and design company. We illustrate. We make books. We animate commercials, short films, and music videos. We take our cues from the original Yankee Peddlers.

Last year Carhartt joined Slamdance in Park City as a Special Events Sponsor at our headquarters - The Treasure Mountain Inn. Within two days the crew had setup shop and built the Carhartt Backcountry Club. The space proved to be one of the most irreverent party spots on all of Main Street hosting the likes of Neil Young, William H. Macy, and a not-to-be-forgotten horde of zombie models.


“In the last two years, I have been lucky enough to work with the Carhartt team to create an experience at Slamdance that strengthens the filmmaker community in Park City,” explains Festival producer, Greg Urich. “The quality, performance, and integrity Carhartt maintains as a brand mirrors that of Slamdance and makes our partnership a natural fit.”

According to Tony Ambroza, Vice President of Marketing for Carhartt, “Carhartt is a brand for doers; we make workwear for tradespeople and craftspeople who use their hands to make a living. Filmmakers are hard-working, do-whatever-it-takes craftsmen who personify passion in order to produce quality work. And these men and women are a prime example of who we make workwear for." In addition to providing an events space, the Carhartt team created Slamdance branded beanies, hoodies, and coats for Slam's staff and filmmakers.

We look forward to sustaining our creative partnership with Carhartt at the 2013 Festival as we continue to develop new relationships with DIY sponsors. “We are honored to join Slamdance at the Film Festival to celebrate the passion and quality of work of today’s independent filmmakers,” Ambrozia concludes. Long live the Slam Brand!
