Kinda middle age (in web years) but still hot - or congrats iW on the new look

The couple of nights when indieWIRE was out/not there were a little bit uncomfortable & disorienting ('cause iW is one of the first sites I visit when I get on the web after sleeping all day & before I start the night's hard partying w/ other DIY filmmakers & also actors/actresses (is that word still in use? probably should be - I vote yes on that) & of course fellow Bed Stuy based indie film bloggers (there's like 17 of us, we all get breakfast at Snack Town @ Broadway & Malcolm X every weekday morning, right before we go to sleep). But anyway, very glad to see the old iW back in business - and looking very sweet & brand new. I like the new look - easier to deal with, and design wise feels like 2009 (maybe even a little 2010). Congratulations to Team iW & anyone else who had a hand in coming up with the new site.

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.   *
