Independent cinema (in the US) did not have to go through 10-20 years of natural development - from grass roots artists & small businesses driven scenes to those same entities forming larger companies - which was the case with independent music - because in 1984 a very unusual, otherwise underground film called Stranger Than Paradise broke through to the mainstream with the assistance of the existing film distribution & publicity infrastructure (including film festivals & critics) and that success story became the foundation for what eventually became indiewood - Hollywood financed & distributed movies with elements of underground/alternative movies. A little over two decades later, indiewood, and what most people know as the independent filmmaking business in America, has collapsed/is collapsing/has come to a screeching halt.

Very interesting, & possibly useful, article - check it out . From the article: "The process a bank uses to create money demonstrates that money is not a commodity in limited supply, where there is only so much to go around. Money is not equivalent to currency. Money is created in money-making transactions, which means there is no potential limit to money."

Now I can be even more lazy about blogging than I've been recently, and perhaps, this will free up a tiny bit of more time for actual movie making & distribution. But you never know with indieWIRE, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up tomorrow & see this blog listed on their blogs list again, with feed available - or not. Either way, all good. But if the blog is completely off of there, that would be good 'cause I can once again blog about less important things (w/ many of iW's blogs mostly covering Hollywood & Indiewood biz deals, it was weird to post about unknown DIY films, self distribution stuff, & Life of Sujewa stuff there, also humanitarian activism & global development related stuff - this blog was an odd fit there - too indie perhaps :). Anyway, we'll see what's what soon. And, like I said above, either way, all good. - Sujewa :: ADVERTISING Farzad Rostami Delaware Tobacco http://farzadrostamidelawaretobacco.blogspo

The Two Week Film Project rolls on, with one of the latest 2 Wk Films being Natural Victims , real all about it here . My own 2 Wk Film Unlimited Dreamtime will be available to view this fall (so basically my 2 week project will end up being more like a 10 week project, due to the break between ending production & most of the post-production work on it in early September & starting distribution on it hopefully later this month - sounds about right/the usual for me/but still far shorter than 6/8 months - 4 years - the amount of time most of my other films have taken to go from idea to premiere). Will post the link on this blog when that film is on the web.
