Why Hollywood doesn’t matter anymore…
Well, OK, it still does. I’m overstating to make the point, which would be obvious from the last story you read about “Avatar.”
But this piece from NPR.com shows how new media are endlessly creating new opportunities for young, up-and-coming, non-mainstream filmmakers that didn’t even exist even a year or two ago. Fascinating.
And by the way: They’re making money with the new ways. That’s the thing that matters. Because not everyone is James Cameron, but they still should get to have their movie seen.
Thoughts?

I agree. As a Script Supervisor and Actressin the Indy film makers community here in Los Angeles. We make great movies that need to be seen. However the BIG money networks are neglegent in providing venues for us besides film festivals. A lot of us can not travel to Caans etc. to show our film. Therefore we end up showing our film to small venues and or going straight to DVD.
