Perhaps you read today’s earlier guest post from Jacques. But did you realize that The Filmmakers’ Alliance fundraising campaign closes today?! I hadn’t, so I hadn’t given until this morning. Jacques explains below some of the great needs that are within our reach to solve: curation, aggregation, & organization. Shall we seize the time?
Independent Film has been challenged of late. Perhaps it has always been challenged….and challenging. And perhaps that is a necessary aspect of the undoubtedly risky nature of Independent Film. But perhaps not. Perhaps those challenges could be alleviated somewhat if education was better integrated with experience, if funding was better integrated with worthy projects, if productions were better integrated with crews and resources, if good films were better integrated with distribution options and if, at the outset, potentially strong films were better integrated with fresh ideas and unique perspectives. I truly believe that can happen on the web with a single site employing a bit of curation, aggregation and organization.
