    Does it say more about indie film or about me?  Is everyone a filmmaker that is listed there?

    It being Facebook and all (and not this blog) what do the gender and age breakdowns truly demonstrate?

    Female 40.6% 0.2% 3.2% 12.5% 12.7% 7.7% 2.5% 1.8%
    13-17 18-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65+
    Male 56.9% 0.3% 5.7% 18.3% 17.9% 8.7% 3.3% 2.7%
    One thing I see, is I clearly need to build things here in San Francisco.  More folks are engaged in Sydney, Australia than here!  Either that, or I need to move to Sydney.

Meet Ted

Ted Hope is a “holistic film producer”: he aims to be there from the beginning and then forever after, involved in every aspect of a film’s life cycle and ecosystem, as committed to engineering serendipity as preventing problems, as obsessed with lifting the good into the great, as he is…
