Have you gotten addicted to Vine yet? Well, I have and I must say, its such a fun toy for any film fan. Its quirky, short, and hilarious. Six seconds doesn’t really seem like enough time to tell a story or even complete a sentence, but Vine somehow does it.

Vine has exploded. This Twitter owned phenomenon just continues to grow and become more popular. News outlets, celebrities, and just the average funny guy are downloading and actively posting on every social media outlet. It’s a way for people to express themselves and in addition Vine accomplishes something that other social media sites lack. Its clever. To make a great Vine takes a certain type of mind. You have to be quick about it, as stated previously your limit is a sparse six seconds.

It is a humorous way to be informed and to respect the art of film. Now, you might be thinking, “how is 6 seconds a film?” This question is answered once you watch a great Vine video. It leaves you waiting, but then it starts over again. It is a circle in which the audience can always watch its favorite part again. Infinite.

So, how does this relate to the Skyline Indie Film Fest? Vine users obviously love social media and all things film related. Indie films tend to be off the beaten path, and that’s the sort of crowd that Vine embraces. Clever, quirky and eager to discover.

So I urge you to download Vine. If you aren’t feeling confident in your own Vine video yet, never fear. Watching Vines are just as entertaining. And while we do not have a Vine category, come out and support Indie films at the Skyline Indie Film Festival for inspiration and wonder.
