i was an urging voice in 2004 for Mr. Moore to distribute his works for free and not profit from the political atmosphere and the war as he was. i guess he had to make lots more money first before he could be willing to give his candid films away. here is a nice open letter to Michael Moore:

I agree with your insights, Rupert. YouTube is great for marketing. Not for distribution. Blip.tv is great for distribution. There's a big difference between the two. Filmmakers (big and small) understand so much about how to distribute and market using the old tools. There's lots of pro

Awesome!:) Cant remember the name of the documentary of Troy and the making of the film, but its brilliant. One of the best onscreen flameouts I've ever seen. Well worth renting. On Sat, Sep 6, 2008 at 8:32 AM, Sull [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://www.boondockfans.com On Fri, Sep 5,

Great news, really. They begin to 'get it'. Ha! Bwah-hahaha. Yes! The director of the indie movie I just finished mixing (City Island) is putting clips from dailies (bloopers such) online on his blog through YouTube.

Good for Michael Moore. Yes, some of them are starting to get it. But even the ones who are getting it are only partly getting it, and - like your director, Jan - are bullied by producers and funders who are still a long way from getting it. In May, I was at a talk about the future of

I mean, REALLY - it's now 4-5 years since the people on this list started mucking about with this stuff. And Jan's director is unusual in his use of social media and video to document the production of his independent movie?? Even politicians are now well-versed in using videoblogging and

I don't think its exactly Negative if a director doesnt want to blog his activites or post dailies onto the web. Maybe the director just wants to show a finished product; many people are like that. Kent, you're making a movie (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!!!), do feel the need to blog the

No, obviously it's not a bad thing if a director just doesn't want to do it. Nobody's forcing anyone. My point - and maybe it was badly made - is that so many other people in unexpected places are using online video to promote ongoing projects... it seems absurd to me that filmmakers
