!Podcast! - Sergio Mims (Black Harvest Film Fest), Sujewa Ekanayake (Indie Film Blogger Road Trip), & hosts Obenson & Wilson




We had a couple of minutes of technical difficulties today when host Tambay Obenson's call dropped out & then I got off the show to call back & co-host Brandon Wilson had to carry the show all by himself while Tambay & I came back on the show - but anyway, that bit of unexpected excitement aside - a pretty solid show - here's the official description from The Obenson Report:

"Podcast #43 . TRT: 60 Minutes . Episode Notes: Brandon Wilson (GeniusBastard.com) and I spent the hour talking to Sergio Mims, co-founder of the Black Harvest Film Festival (celebrating its 15th year), and Sujewa Ekanayake, writer/director of Date Number one and Indie Film Blogger Road Trip, as well as editor of DIYFilmmaker.blogspot.com."

Check out the podcast at The Obenson Report.

Thanks Tambay & Brandon for having me on the show to promote D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself)filmmaking & self-distribution as well as the upcoming screening of Date Number One (2/13, Bed-Stuy) & the World Premiere of Indie Film Blogger Road Trip (2/17, Manhattan). Once again, the podcast link - check it out!

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.   *
