I'd love to get your opinions about something I've been planning that ties right into this idea.
I've got a full-length movie I made called "Working Stiff" (http://www.workingstiff.org) that I was thinking of putting up on the Web someday so people could download it for a small fee, say a dollar or two. This episodic storytelling idea got me thinking, though. Let me ask you: If I were to cut the movie up into 20, or 30 pieces (maybe one scene at a time) and release one piece every day or every week: a) would I kiss forever any hope of distributing it online for that small fee I talked about? b) would I lose control of the movie or would the exposure be worth the risk of essentially giving it away? Would very much like to hear your opinions.
