What is the point of film school?
There are quite a few filmmakers who suggest that emerging talent should put their money towards making a film and presenting this at festivals instead of investing in a degree.
Ask any festival programmer: they see a lot of films that have been made by filmmakers who’ve not attended film school long before their festival starts. Submission numbers to the Sundance film festival have more than tripled since 1999 when films like The Blair Witch Project shaped the mould and gave rise to that question above. This year, more than 12,000 films competed for less than 200 screening slots, from which about a third may find a buyer, and so a future audience.

Filmmakers have always flirted with television. One has only to recall, from 1980, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz, a series of, notably, thirteen 52-minute episodes plus an epilogue, or David Lynch’s Twin Peaks (1990/1991), which lasted for two seasons, the first with eight and the second with twenty two 50-minute episodes (the pilots were feature-length) or indeed Lars Von Trier’s The Kingdom (1994), a series of eleven 55-minute episodes. Cinema’s flirtation with the new form in fact started much earlier, perhaps with Roberto Rossellini’s infamous 1962 news conference where he declared that cinema, the medium for which he had directed such classics as Rome, Open City and Paisan, was dead and that he would henceforth be making movies for television.
Where are we? Where are we going? What can be be hopeful about? What do we need to be concerned about?

Technology is permanently advancing.Even while reading this post — technology is getting smaller, faster, and less cluttered. A film set is no different – as the tech space increases in productivity, yielding smaller and more efficient products, so too the film space moves in a parallel fashion. Today, there are more ways than ever to utilize technology in the filmmaking process & business alike.

Media Brands Of The Future
“Media brands of the future will be built upon a core principle of agility, a fragmented model of multiple revenue sources, verticals, consultancy, research, events and online advertising.
Other earned revenue streams—such as event hosting, marketing services and web consulting, could become a critical component to the broader, long-term picture. For now, these various streams remain small, accounting for about 7% of the whole according to Pew, but that’s set to change.”
