If it wasn’t clear already, I think Net Neutrality is the key issue for all filmmakers.
On Saturday morning I gave the Key Note talk for Film Independent’s annual Filmmaker Forum. I posted the speech (A Thousand Phoenix Rising) on Let’s Make Better Films. Please read it.
It’s gotten a lot of play on other blogs: Anne Thompson, Indiewire, Filmmaker Magazine, Shooting People, Ted Leonsis, Tribecca’s Resources, Pulp2.0, Behind The Scenes, etc.
All this is pretty swell, but it truly illustrates the need for maintaining Net Neutrality. The internet is the home of free speech and participation. There is no such thing as free choice if you don’t know what the choice is. To make decisions, we all must be able to access all info immediately and equally. It’s not like old media would have covered something like my talk.
