culture, this partnership is an ideal way to bring the experience of
Tribeca to an even wider audience."

Spout and The Reeler will host video interviews with filmmakers, actors
and other talent affiliated with the Tribeca Film Festival selections on
Spout at http://www.spout.com/tribeca.

Additionally, The Reeler will present a review roundup featuring capsule commentaries about Tribeca selections viewed by Reeler critics Michelle Orange, Vadim Rizov and Eric Kohn. Both sites will be actively blogging and providing insight on festival activities.

Reeler. "Collaborating with Spout will bring new content to both sites'
fans, extending the dialogue even further."

Spout's site enables members to spout off about film, giving users the tools to richly express their thoughts and opinions with other fans. As such, movie lovers nationwide can converge here to experience the Tribeca Film Festival virtually and discuss films from the festival and beyond.
