I will be finishing up & posting a bunch more SilverDocs related posts in the coming week. Here is a brief look at the upcoming goodies:

- Interview with AJ Schnack, director of Kurt Cobain About A Son - both an extremely specific and wildly creative/arty work, one of the most memorable documentaries I've seen due to its unusual approach to creating a portrait of an individual and due to its awesome cinematography.
I talked with AJ for about an hour on Saturday, a juicy interview is being transcribed at the moment.

- Interview with the director & subject of Water Flowing Together. I've talked a bit about this movie in previous posts. Another long & interesting interview about a unique & beautiful movie about the renowned dancer Jock Soto.

- Photos, photos, photos. I am going through about 60 photos that I took at SilverDocs, will start posting them up in a couple of hours.

- Reviews; a couple are coming up this week, of flicks I caught at SilverDocs.

- Links list - after Agnes Varnum, AJ Schnack, Matt Dentler, Pamela Cohn & others post up a lot of their SilverDocs related stuff in the coming days, I would like to create an epic list of SilverDocs '07 blog coverage links.

- also need to add the special mentions to the award winners list.

- and whatever else I think up of, SilverDocs related.

OK, see ya here all week long for more SilverDocs goodies!

& Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers in the indiefilmblogland! :)

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.   *
