In the past decade, social media has opened up a wealth of opportunities for artists. Whether you’re growing an audience for your visual art, streaming your dance performances or showcasing your latest short film, social media can bring not only New Zealand but the entire world to your digital doorstep.
And thanks to sharing via social media, there’s also the opportunity to go viral. One great example of this is Loading Docs’ short The Coffin Club, (directed by Briar March and produced by Kim Harrop) which gained 7.1M views via Upworthy and also received coverage via outlets like National Geographic and The Cut.
