Vimeo's new VOD service - might be an awesome option for self-distributing indie filmmakers

Get the info at this IndieWIRE article . From the article: "Who are your competitors in the space? YouTube has an offering [YouTube Rentals, which is still in beta]. What's different from YouTube is that ours is completely open, so anyone with a Vimeo PRO account can create a VOD page, sell their work, choose their price, choose the regions they want to offer and the time that it will be available, make it look beautiful, then push a button that says "publish"... and it's open to the world. That totally open flexible platform is what makes Vimeo unique. Vimeo PRO is an offering for creators for all part of the workflow, so if we close the circle for their video needs, then we're doing a good job -- this is another step in that direction."

Art films are thriving - Richard Brody

Check out The New Yorker's Richard Brody penned article The State of the "Art Film" .  From the article: "The sanguine forecasts delivered to Gaydos by Tom Bernard, of Sony Classics, have proven right: “The audiences has actually expanded.

We’re seeing more American  films  that qualify for that loose term,  art film .”" Read more:  http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2013/01/the-state-of-the-art-film.html#ixzz2N88hX57f - S :: :: IndieGoGo - Breakthrough Weekend :: ADVERTISEMENT At Farzad Rostami's blog:   http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco3.blogspot.com WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2013 Netflix Social Shares article At  Wired  - check it out, new development. - Farzad Rostami Project :: Posted by  Sujewa Ekanayake   at

New York Times article about a new DIY film revolution

From 2010, still good, by Manohla Dargis, check it out here . From the article : "Yet even as the studio-indie model disintegrates, a new nonstudio model appears to be emerging from the rubble. In recent years, for instance, novice filmmakers and longtime independent insiders have begun experimenting, and finding some success, with new approaches to releasing movies, including self-distribution. The D.I.Y. world isn’t new, but what is novel is how filmmakers and other industry insiders are sharing their nuts-and-bolts experiences and blue-sky ideas both in person and online, creating a virtual infrastructure."  Read the rest here . - S :: :: ADVERTISEMENT Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco blog http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco.blogspot.com :: Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco blogs project http://diyfilmmaker.blogspot.com/2012/03/farzad-rostami-delaware-tobacco-blogs.html :: Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco 2 blog http://farzadr
