Farewell, filmzrus

About this blog: The filmzrus.com superblog was maintained from 2009 to 2013 during the time that filmzrus owner, Allison Cody, worked as the senior producer for the Junior Cross Media Market for Cinekid Festival in Amsterdam. It contains many helpful articles and videos on all things transmedia, with a special focus on kid's media.

About filmzrus.com: filmzrus was shuttered in 2013 when I went to work for my husband and our Amsterdam based bike tour company, Joy Ride Tours.  You can still reach me through our Global Kids Show website.  Global Kids Show is a cultural travel show for kids. The show has aired on Al Jazeera Children's Channel in Arabic, PakaPaka in Spanish and HRT in Croatian. I still take on interesting projects, mostly assisting start ups with financial planning and online media strategies.  Thanks for visiting this site, and you may also find helpful links in the right column.  Cheers!
