Kristine Gloria
Account Executive
Waggener Edstrom Worldwide, Austin, TX
"Working with Welch Integrated, Inc.'s StudentFilmmakers.com proved to be an excellent tool in reaching our targeted audience. The team was quick to respond, accommodating and very positive. We were able to reach a large audience in a short period of time. Job well done!" (for Microsoft and AMD sponsored "Heroes 2.0" Film Competition)
Simon Wiltshire

Digital Dialogue (www.digitaldialogue.com), The Relevance Marketing Company
"We engaged StudentFilmmakers Magazine as part of our media budget for the Fuel The Change Video Contest, sponsored by the Ethanol Promotion & Information Council. We needed to reach a large, diverse audience in a very short period of time, with a particular focus on filmmakers with an active interest in promoting their skills and work through video contests. In particular, we wanted high quality submissions that helped to promote Ethanol as part of a more independent energy future for America. SFM had the combination of audience, skills and – in particular – enthusiasm for and interest in, this topic. Through a combination of newsletter-based advertising and our own dedicated e-mail sent to SFM's broad base, we were able to stimulate a 500% increase in daily traffic to our site, and a dramatic uptick in both the quality and quantity of entries. SFM stayed close to the details from beginning to end, helping us to optimize the content and presentation for maximum impact – including tweaking our HTML to improve deliverability and cross-platform readability. Throughout the process, they were supportive and engaged, and provided us with great feedback. With SFM's help, our contest netted over 40 high quality submissions in a short timeframe. It was a pleasure to work with them, and we would do so again without hesitation."

"We found Welch Integrated, Inc's StudentFilmmakers.com to be one

Stan Hennigh
Manager of Marketing and Product Development
Chimera Perfect Lighting, Boulder Colorado
CHIMERA had decided to produce a student film contest in honor of our
25th Anniversary and to raise awareness of our Lightbanks and other lighting
tools with the emerging filmmakers market. The problem was that we wanted
to reach out to a national, even global market effectively and yet on
a small budget. We had done a bit of advertising on Kim Welch's, StudentFilmmakers.com
web site so I decided to see what ideas he may have. Kim picked up the
idea and put together an all encompassing package for us including , advertising,
hosting, trade show services, other publicity and judging. His organization
did an absolutely wonderful job. Needless to say the contest was a big
hit all around. CHIMERA

DIS Consulting Corporation and Event Manager
SMPTE NY June Editing Showcase
Kim Welch's StudentFilmmakers (a misnomer as it is really reaching both film and video making individuals)/ Welch Interactive web-site and pushed e-mails, added value as an outreach method to both my DIS Consulting Corporation multi-client on-line research in video editing called Video Editing World tm 2005 and helped me in and my activity as event manager of S. M. P. T. E's annual video Editing Showcase. In the case of the editing research project, use of Kim's databases and his outbound e-mail alerts helped build traffic to the on-line questionnaire. In the case of the Showcase, using Kim's list, and having him as an exhibitor there, helped to lure more attendees to the June events. In both regards, it impressed me that Kim has something clever going on.

"My experience with Welch Integrated was VERY positive. I had a client that had a large and unmanageable email list and Welch deployed a successful email to the lists that I sent him. My client spent the next week handling business calls. It worked great."

Reader Comments
"I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that the April issue was one of the best ever! It covered almost every aspect of producing film & video, was highly informative. …What really caught my eye was the sections on acting and directing actors, I've seen lots of stuff in other mags about the typical cinematography topics, but you have combined it all into one neat package that should cover everyone involved with making films and videos.,, Keep up the terrific work! Thanks again."
Bill Bolton, President of Esplanade Partners, Longmont, Colorado.
"Thank you very much for the quality magazine and web site! It is, by
far, the most awesome resource that I use, not only for my personal
development, but also reference and encourage my students at Bowling
Green State University to subscribe to. I read several magazines and
web sites each month in video and film production. I can honestly say
that StudentFilmmakers is by far my favorite publication and web site.
The articles are insightful and very useful, the resource links are
Invaluable. I look at all the sponsored links and have made purchases
from several of your sponsors that I had not visited prior to seeing
them advertise on your web site. I regularly look at the classifieds
and have successfully sold some of my equipment that I was not
currently using. And, very importantly, I have found several people to
network with. Excellent job! Thanks for all you do to make it the
success that it is!"
Jose A. Cardenas, SOC, IATSE Local 600, Bowling Green State University, Department of Telecommunications
"It would have been wonderful if I had a magazine such as the StudentFilmmakers magazine available to me when I first started dreaming about becoming a cinematographer. It would have helped greatly to open up and help me understand the world of filmmaking and how to become part of it."
Andrew Laszlo, ASC
"StudentFilmmakers --the magazine-- combines just the right blend of literary and visual esthetic. Unlike the slick, glossy, overblown consumer and trade film magazines this publication is earthy and connects on every level with the student filmmaker. The information is vital and urgent. Congratulations on a superb effort and for your contribution to the world of student filmmaking."
Jim McCullaugh, former publisher of American Cinematographer and former Executive Director of the American Society of Cinematographers
"As a film producer and distributor, StudentFilmmakers Magazine provides me the opportunity to read about new talent in directing, producing and crew. The technical articles are right on target and readers should hang on every word in the Film Business section. The only mistake to be made is not reading this magazine cover to cover."
Ted Taylor, Film Producer/Distributor, Winged Media Inc., Potomac, MD

"I have been teaching filmmaking for over thirty years and have received and subscribed to many film making magazines. Yours is the best I have ever read for aspiring film makers. Keep up the good work."
William Arscott, Stephen F. Austin State University

Bruce Kawin, Professor of English and Film, University of Colorado
"On behalf of the Film Production Program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, www.conflix.com , I want to thank you for the StudentFilmmakers Magazine. It is really good.
"Our students received it a couple of weeks ago, and we found some ideas in it that became discussion points in one of the production classes and also in a documentary class. The articles were well written, to the point, clearly and effectively directed to film students.
"Our program is located in a small city, quite far from major production centres. Our students will eventually leave here for the wider world. For us, your magazine is a good window on the wider film making world. It's really good to connect our students through your magazine, with that wider world. Thank you."
Dennis Austin, Professor, Film Production, Confederation College
"I received the premiere issue of Student Filmmakers magazine today and it looks great!... Had the chance to read some of the articles and they were very diverse, engaging and informative..."

"Congratulations for the wonderful Premiere issue of the magazine...Fantastic...Very intelligent and compelling articles reflecting the unbiased viewpoint of studentfilmakers.com on filmmaking as a whole international, collective though intimate and personal process..Amazing and surprising..."
Subscriber Comments from Wesley Sena, CA
"This magazine has been a great resource of useful and current information in my classroom. Hands-on production is a very important element in my class, but I also have the students reading articles from my StudentFilmmakers magazine...
For me, this magazine is just as important in my classroom as the camera or any other piece of gear."
Neal Bennett, Industry Film School, Shrewsbury, NJ
