IFBRT & DNO availability update

- Indie Film Blogger Road Trip (2009):

Indie Film Blogger Road Trip will be available to view through Atlanta Film Festival's site at some point before 4/18. Will post a note when IFBRT is on the ATLFF site.

IFBRT will also be available to view through Blip.TV starting in May.

Also, anyone who wants to buy a homemade DVD of IFBRT can send me a check or money order for $10 (make it out to Sujewa Ekanayake) to:

Wild Diner Films
10408 Montgomery Ave.
Kensington, MD 20895

(mail will be forwarded to Brooklyn eventually, but I am still working in both MD & NYC, so the MD address is still good/will always be good due to forward). At some point before the middle of this year I should have some factory made IFBRT DVDs for sale.

Date Number One (2006, 2008):

The Date Number One DVD will FINALLY be available for purchase in early May (it was worth the wait, the current cut is far better than the one that premiered in May of '06). Will post up more info. on buying that DVD once the retail DVDs are actually in my possession.

::

Earlier features Capital Heartbreak & Sweetness: 17 DC Poets (2002) & Wild Diner (1999) will most likely be made available on the web & or on DVDs (possible extra items) this year.

There are a couple of shorts that I need to make available - Fresh Coffee (1992), & a couple of yet unedited shorts - all those will be available online or on DVDs this year.

Will be updating wilddiner.com before the middle of this year with info. & links on every one of my movies (including info. on where you can watch or buy each film).

Next feature - Brooklyn Fantastic - should be heading out to film festivals this fall for early 2010 play.

The case for using AI for indie film reviews (if tech is developed to be able to write good reviews)

Regardless of how it is presented to the public, everything in US film (and probably worldwide) - Hollywood and indie - is about money.  If you have the money, you can make and release films, buy ads in publications, and get reviews.  There are 200+ reviews for a mediocre Hollywood movie now at Rotten Tomatoes site - for the new Fantastic Four movie. At the same time there were less than 10 reviews for an indie movie that was playing at IFC Center in NYC last week. Outside of even IFC runs, there are 100s of indie movies - fiction features and doc features - that come out on VOD and YouTube every week these days that do not get reviewed and do not get any articles written about them. With some effort I and many other indie filmmakers are able to get some reviews for our movies. However, the vast majority of new indie films are not reviewed. Film is art, it is easier to make and release films now than it was in the past, and all films deserve reviews and articles about them. ...
