Lo-Def screening 1 was a success, DNO will get a 1 week run in Silver Spring this summer, Lo-Def #2 on June 26

5/25 update: no 1 week run of DNO @ Back Room this summer, venue is too busy, however, the other Lo-Def screenings (June, July, August) planned thus far are still on (will update if those changes).

I am glad (& am a little bit surprised) that Lo-Def #1 came off as well as it did (tons of impossible deadlines had to be met, but in the end it all came together). Photos & notes tomorrow (sleep now).

Some of the fruit of Lo-Def #1:

- DNO will get a week (maybe more) long run in Silver Spring, @ Back Room @ Jackie's, this summer, dates coming soon

- had to finish the new version of DNO (nothing like a screening deadline/one for your own event - as motivation), instead of keeping on editing it forever; the film is vastly improved (a little more sound work needed in A Romantic Dinner For 3, this weekend, and then that's it, no more editing, screeners going out to people & places & indie film events on Monday, & very soon (June) limited DVD sales/from my site for the most part, will wait for wider DVD sales/push until after I screen the movie some more).

- got to hang out w/ potential future collaborators (actors, crew, filmmakers for future lo-def screenings, etc.)

A very special thanks goes out to everyone who made Lo-Def #1 possible & everyone who has supported Date Number One thus far. Can't do these nifty DIY film things I do w/ out your help.
Photos tomorrow.

Lo-Def #2 June 26; several cool shorts from around America. Details soon.

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.   *
