commented on a projectRight on, I just checked in to see how it was going today and I see that we did it. Awesome, so there's obviously some call for indie distribution, ;) now it'll be interesting to see where they take this project.

commented on a project10 Days to go, and 50% of the way to the $10,000 goal, eh? I'm not going to be a pessimist here or anything, because with 98 backers there's obviously a community of people who think that indie distribution has a future. It's a slow uphill battle (as I've discovered trying to promote my own film Archon Defender....) and there's a lot of factors to overcome: Signal to noise: How to stand out in an ocean of indie content producers (I think that talent, and quality, as well as devotion to artistic principles will enable this) Short attention spans: When I was a kid, people were lined up around the block fort the first Star Wars movies, for months. Nowadays, a 'hit' film is in the spotlight for 2 weeks max, and then forgotten. Remember the movie adaptation of 'Watchmen' ? the 'biggest cinematic experience' in forever... Yeah, thought you might remember that, it wasn't that long ago. This year, even, if I recall. Point being: attention spans are getting short, but then again whatever you put online stays online forever, so there's always a supply of new fans who haven't discovered your work yet. Despite this, I think that independent discovery is the way of the future, and that quality and talent will rise to the top, especially with the turkey farm that is the hollywood movie machine. The internet is the key to this, and social networking sites, and the inter-linking of social networking in a fashion that the OpenIndie project represents.
