So it stands to reason there are many different ways our audience might engage with our films. Some of you have cable, some don&#8217;t; some use smart phones, some don&#8217;t; some are active on social media and some despise the whole idea of virtual networks. It&#8217;s cool with us. We dig that you don&#8217;t conform to a boring monolithic mentality. Neither do we. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re expanding the ways you can watch and discuss our films using new technologies to reach new audiences.<\/p>\n<p>First, we launched the <em>Independent Lens<\/em> Documentary Film Club at the start of the season, and it&#8217;s gaining traction with every passing week.<\/p>\n<p>And check out the conversation happening right now on Twitter (join right in by using the hashtag #ILDocLub or following <a title=\"IL on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/independentlens\">@IndependentLens<\/a>):<\/p>\n<p>We also launched <a title=\"IL on FourSquare\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foursquare.com\/independentlens\"><em>Independent Lens<\/em> on FourSquare<\/a>, for those of you who use the location-based check-in app. By following us on Foursquare, you will learn about free screenings of our films near you, as well as information about where many of the films on <em>Independent Lens<\/em> were shot. Cool right?<\/p>\n<p>And lastly, we discovered some new factoids about our Facebook fans this week that make us smile at how very groovy they are. Among the top most-common interests among our fans (according to our Facebook data): Pink Floyd, <em>The Office<\/em>, Maya Angelou, <em>South Park<\/em>, Eminem, <em>The Colbert Report<\/em>, Shakira, <em>The Family Guy<\/em>, Michelle Obama, and Nirvana.
