Did the indieWIRE blogs section used to be better (or am I just getting old)?

The indie (real indie) & amature enthusiasm of indieWIRE blogs section seems to be over (or at least it feels like it) & there does not seem to be many blogs on there now that post interesting content.  Maybe it's a temporary thing, a summer thing perhaps, maybe things will get better in the fall.  Or, perhaps the days of indie-film-blogs-as-entertainment are over (i guess it was a good thing i filmed indie film blogger road trip back in '08 - which now seem like a golden era for indie film blogging).  Maybe everyone's moved on to better things, or other platforms such as Twitter & Facebook.  Anyway, kids, back in the day, you were able to go to the indieWIRE blogs page & read some very interesting stories about independent movies & business.  Blogs then were as interesting or in some cases more interesting than the movies & the making of movies that they wrote about.  Now, not so much (although, a couple of blogs on iW blogs page ...

"The Real Ben Stiller" (working title) - new summer project

the final half awake dream of last night was a conversation with movie star ben stiller at a doctor's office, & now it's a one page summary of a feature length script. new summer project - "The Real Ben Stiller" (working title). let me know if anyone knows a good ben stiller look-alike/actor in NYC. i'd say, very loosely speaking, it's "being john malcovich"(sp?) meets maybe a certain kind of star trek episode (yes, space aliens are involved in this story) or maybe columbo/monk/quiet city - some kind of a mystery show meets john cassavette's (sp?) shadows (very, very lightly).  how's that for a clear description? :) - s :: :: :: :: :: ADVERTISING New blogs for projects by NYC artist Katheryn McGaffigan:   Blog 1 http://katherynmcgaffigan. blogspot.com/ Blog 2 http://katherynmcgaffigan2. blogspot.com/ Blog 3 http://katherynmcgaffigan3. blogspot.com/ Blog 4 http://katherynmcgaffigan4. blogspot.com/ Blog 5 http://katherynmcg...

New short film "Khoobi (are you ok)"

Khoobi (are you ok) - 2011 from Amir Motlagh on Vimeo . * This new short film by Amir Motlagh was released yesterday.  In "Khoobi (are you ok)" a character reflects on living in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war, some aspects of Iranian history, and about his attempt to make movies in America.  A well made movie that features a couple of other interesting stories - a clip from an Iranian movie - about several treasure hunters, & a statement being read by a boy who fought in the Iran-Iraq war.  There is humor throughout the movie - low key - specially enjoyed a brief casting scene where an actor persistently tries to play the lead role in a movie.  "Khoobi", though it looks & sounds like a regular/mainstream accessible movie most of the times, is probably most likely an experimental movie - I will let critics & experts in experimental cinema comment on that aspect of the movie.  So, multiple threads, multiple tones, and reflections within...

Diversity In Independent Film Facebook Group page & blog are up

Driven by recent events (FSLC panel discussion that overlooked minority & female indie filmmakers in NYC) & similar incidents over the years, I created a new Facebook page to help raise the profiles of minority & female independent filmmakers - Diversity In Independent Film .  Check it out, join, post relevant links, stories, & other material.  The Fb group page has a dozen or so links already. Also, a blog for the same project has been started - see it here .  The blog will be more accessible to the world since you do not have to log into Facebook to read the content.  Should be able to develop the blog to a pretty good starting point over the next few days, & soon there will be lots of daily stories about minority & female independent filmmakers. - S :: :: :: :: :: ADVERTISING New blogs for projects by NYC artist Katheryn McGaffigan:   Blog 1 http://katherynmcgaffigan. blogspot.com/ Blog 2 http://katherynmcga...
