Monday various: did an interview with On Tap mag for the DNO run, gotta get tix for About A Son this Fri

Just did an interview with the local DC area entertainment & night life magazine On Tap re: Date Number One, for the 7/12 - 18 run in Kensington. Will post the link here when the issue comes out.

The new doc Kurt Cobain: About A Son is gonna play in Silver Spring this Fri, at Silverdocs. Gotta go buy me some tix. Though I am not a huge fan of Nirvana (Fugazi is more my cup of punk rock tea), the content of this movie sounds interesting (interviews with Cobain set to images of Seattle area) and the flick is by AJ Schnack, director of the They Might Be Giants doc Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns & fellow member of the US indie film blogger underground/conspiracy/secret society, so it should be good stuff. Go here for the AFI page for About A Son.

The YouTube New Wave is here - mainstream accessible, well made indie films by filmmakers who promote their work

See two examples of YouTube New Wave (term coined by filmmaker Chris Sharpe) indie films below. Previously releasing indie films - features - on YouTube was a fringe, hobbyist activity, done by part time filmmakers with no interest in developing a mainstream audience or careers.  But now well made indie films by serious filmmakers who promote their work are getting a lot of views - over 100,000 - on YouTube.  Here are two: my movie - fiction feature - Cosmic Disco Detective Rene, and Jason Horton's Who They Are feature documentary.   *
