Scott Kirsner, Lance Weiler, Tiffany Shlain and others put together a great program at Pacific Film Archives this past weekend, bringing together folks from the tech, social entrepreneur, and film worlds. There was a lot of great stuff on the new world of DIY/Hybrid Distribution. I imagine Lance will post a lot of it over at The Workbook Project.
This is a nice low angle (i.e. I am not quite so wide in real life — or rather I still like to think my self not so wide) shot of my “Coffee Chat” with Scott and Dean Valentine of Comedy.com. It captures and highlights my nasal honk quite well though. It’s the end of the session Q&A and I rant on the transformation from an impulse to a choice economy of entertainment, throwing in some speculation on the coming Post-Fest Era to boot.
On changing Festival world, Variety has an article on how the financial crisis has effected film festivals. Worth checking out.
