Wish you were in Park City for Sundance or Slamdance? Attending either film festival and want to share your experiences with others in real time? The Workbook Project has launched a new social mobile experiment called Fest Mob, wherein participants can share their festival experiences via mobile text messages, photos, and video. All real-time documentation can be viewed at the Fest Mob website, and non-attendees can interact with comments and questions for the lucky folks over in Park City. Workbook Project founder and filmmaker Lance Weiler says: "Since I won't be able to make the annual pilgrimage to Park City this year, I started thinking about how I might be able to experience it first hand. The fest mob is a way for people who can not make it to the festival, to interact with those who can, in a sense creating a social network around the experience." Definitely an intriguing concept, and worth checking up on throughout the next couple of weeks. Content is already creeping in.
