Highlighting the eternal “this is my art” versus “this is a product” tension that is only getting more acute as online markets grow (and do not necessarily make more money per film), this discussion from the recent DIY Days isn’t exactly new info, but it does give a sense of what some issues are for filmmakers.
The somewhat deer-in-the-headlights initital reaction of the audience to Arin Crumley’s demand to know what filmmakers need in the digital distribution realm I think is pretty reflective of where we’re at right now. Also, small point, I don’t think Current TV is the only one following the online –> TV acquisition model- SuperU was one that came to mind.

Arin Crumley added these pithy words on Nov 04 08 at 5:30 pmThanks for the re-post of this video. I didn’t know about super U, I’m interested though, know anyone there? Do they do feature or just short content?
