I saw this Vanity Fair article/interview come across my Twitter feed this morning and it's a nice, quick read about someone other than Kevin Smith four-walling his film.From the piece...Be willing to get doors slammed in your face and not take no for an answer?Well, you have to both not take no for an answer and know how to take no for an answer. How to have no’s not affect you at some level, to know the no’s can be temporary, that they’re not a permanent door closing in your face.Definitely check...

Enough has already been said about Kevin Smith's foray into self-distribution with his latest film "Red State", but I would probably just add that I have no problem with him giving the finger to "the system". While he likely could have done it in a softer or more welcoming manner (of course this IS Kevin Smith), the overall strategy is actually quite smart... for this film.But all the rhetoric that Kevin Smith is imploding or done I find amusing. The guy has an extremely loyal fan base that already...

Good read from NewTeeVee regarding Redbox (possibly) now feeling the affect of Netflix streaming.Direct link:http://gigaom.com/video/redbox-q4-miss/From the piece:For years, Redbox has been flying high with DVD kiosks that offered cut-rate movie rentals for $1 a day. But Redbox might want to launch a digital rental service soon, before it sees its DVD kiosk business affected by Netflix and other services that allow consumers to rent and purchase movies from the comfort of their own homes.The writer...

Tubefilter just did a nice story (and quick interview with me) on my WB web original "Exposed" being part of a series of AT&T national TV spots. Check it out here.Direct link:http://news.tubefilter.tv/2011/01/10/exposed-web-series-cameos-in-att-u-verse-ad/They also do a very quick update on my upcoming show "Continuum".Thanks,Bla...

Found out yesterday that the podcast Indie Intertube has created it's 1st Annual Awards... and the teaser trailer from my upcoming sci-fi series CONTINUUM has been nominated.So, you might be thinking... Another awards show? And the thought crossed my mind too, but the thing I really like about what they do is feature actual indie content. Nothing wrong with studio produced shows (I've done one), but the main stuff being produced on the web is by indie producers. It's like the late 90s indie film...

Interesting article from Tubefilter on Kevin Rose's (from Diggnation) new show Foundation. He's doing a "freemium" model, which I am becoming more and more a fan of - although it has rarely been used successfully. Here's a link to the article:http://news.tubefilter.tv/2011/01/03/kevin-rose-launches-new-web-series-foundation/I'm currently in a Twitter discussion with Marc Hustvedt (the author of the piece) and several other folks debating the merits of the model.I personally think it's a great way...
