Turner Creates Film Lovers Community
Turner
Classic Movies (TCM), which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this
year, has launched a social network that links fans online. The site,
called the TCM Classic Film Union, can be found at tcm.com/fan.
The TCM
Classic Film Union aims to provide an easy way for fans to set up
personalized profiles and link to friends. It also features ways to
express movie and film preferences.
"TCM
fans are devoted to the world of classic film, and they want to connect
with others who share their passion," said Molly Battin, senior vice
president of brand development and digital platforms for TCM, TBS, and
TNT. "TCM has long been a forum for these fans, but this new fan
community takes it to the next level."
The TCM
Classic Film Union allows users to connect to their favorite movies and
stars in the classic film resource set up by TCM. Using the networks'
database, TCM says it has added more than a million people (including
actors, directors, producers), plus hundreds of thousands of films.
It
allows anyone to add these links to their personal network and begin
sharing ideas and media with others. For a serious movie fan, there is
no bigger repository of materials about films and filmmaking, it says.
TCM
says unlike other
social networking sites, the TCM Classic Film Union is
targeted at movie lovers.
TCM is
part of Turner Broadcasting System, a Time Warner company.
