I'm flogging myself for not getting this scrap of gossip up earlier, but here it is: whilst introducing the Landmark panel on Sunday at SXSW, indieWIRE EIC Eugene Hernandez announced two new ventures for the 10-year-old company, the reigning online indie film portal. Officially launched on Tuesday, SF360.org is a new web destination dedicated to the San Francisco film scene; Hernandez said it's hopefully the first of many experiments for iW in local satellites. The other new project is, to me at least, potentially far more exciting. The old indieWIRE community forum is going to relaunch either tomorrow or early next week as, essentially, a film-centric competitor to MySpace. Keep an eye out for an official announcement.
