Matthew Modine goes App at 2014 Digital Hollywood Content Summit

Matthew Modine goes App at 2014 Digital Hollywood Content Summit:

The room stood still while Golden Globe Winner and AuthorMatthew Modine (“The Dark Knight Rises”) gave a keynote at the 2014 Digital Hollywood Content Summit yesterday in Marina del Rey, California. Writer and Filmmaker FX Feeney (LA Weekly) interviewed Matthew about his “Full Metal Jacket” App, new film, and crowd funding campaign for his upcoming “Full Metal Jacket Diary” audio book.

Matthew then expanded on the “Full Metal Jacket” App, “The other thing about the App is that it was something that had never been created before. They’ve now coined a term here in Hollywood called an Appumentary because it’s not a documentary and it’s not a book, it’s an Appumentary. It’s a way of exploring information that had never been done before. And it is extraordinary.”

What if ‪Yelp‬ met ‪‎Google Maps‬ met ‪Twitter‬? Well. You’d get Citymaps - a cool new app that crowdsources your local businesses.

These days, maps are much more than a guide for getting from point A to point B. They can (sometimes) perfectly time your walking trip so that you don’t miss the next bus. They can tell you where cops are lurking. And they can give you detailed data about nearby locations.
