Interesting article about the day-and-date release of Steven Soderbergh's new film "Bubble" and why it didn't have much effect on Hollywood or the viewing public...
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70202-0.html?tw=wn_index_4
My personal opinion is it didn't do much business because it was a bad movie. I still can't believe some of the critics like Rogert Ebert called "Bubble" a masterpiece! This has got to make him loose considerable credit among film folks and especially general audiences. Maybe he saw a different movie that I did (see my earlier post)???
I do like the day-and-date concept though. Especially for indie films (and perhaps all films one day)...

Who Am I?
I also created the Streamy and Webby award-winning web series PINK, which to date has been viewed online around 10 MILLION times at places like YouTube, Hulu, Koldcast and TheWB.com. And speaking of TheWB.com, I also produced and directed an online thriller for them called EXPOSED. It was released summer 2010. And most recently I created a new online sci-fi series called CONTINUUM, which is part of the online indie TV network JTS.tv - Just The Story and NOW available via VOD through indie platform Distrify.
Oh, and I don't shoot weddings. Thanks for asking though.
