The Next Good Idea

DVDs w/ Cross Platform Commentaries

I have been frustrated how DVDs do not exploit their technology. It is a long list as to what they could do to make better use of it, and hopefully one day I will build that out. In the meantime if you have any suggestions please forward them on to us here. And to tide you over until the day comes with the mega-uber list:

This suggestion from Dan McGuire:
Movie dvds should include a Aiff or Mp3 audio file of the director’s commentary, so I can listen to the comments on my ipod or car cd player the day after viewing the film.

How great would that be!

Truly Free Film

List: Blogs That Will Review Undistributed Films v2.0

Producer Jake Abraham has been producing the distribution of his latest film Lovely By Surprise (screened at the This is that Goldcrest Screening Series mind you!). They’ve had to find folks all of this land of ours to review it. Luckily for the rest of us, he’s found a great amount. Even more fortunate is the fact that Jake recognizes that Truly Free Film Culture can only come by sharing information.

We should all send Jake our thanks for this totally awesome list of blogs that will review undistributed films:

I have more to add to this list thanks to the recommendations that came in when I posted v1.0. I will post them shortly. Maybe someone out there will sort them for the rest of us. Maybe some of you could let us know what of these sites are the best ones. Maybe one day I will have the time to tag this post with all their names.
So much to do…
