Aug. 15, 2007 - This is the official launch date of my blog about self-distribution. Thanks for checking it out. My goal is to research the ever-changing modalities of distribution and try to figure out how they can be utilized by any filmmaker. As a filmmaker myself, I want to have as much direct control over the audience-to-artist relationship possible. My twenty years in film gives me some expertise however, this is a new and burgeoning field, so not only do I offer my opinion and observations but also invite filmmakers to post comments back. I’ve always found a dialogue to be more instructive then a monologue. It’s a heady time for distribution and I’d like to figure out how we as filmmakers can take advantage of it for our own films. Please come back and let’s change the distribution paradigm together.

Hello, Liam.
I want to thank you for initiating this weblog about alternative distribution.
I have just returned to Los Angeles after spending several years in North Carolina. On the very day of my return, I attended the Filmmakers Alliance Awards and Screening at the Directors Guild where I found out about this website. I had not known about Filmmakers Alliance until a few months ago, but now that I am connected, I am really quite delighted to find this wonderful organization, and now your blog.
In addition to being a producer and movie maker with a degree in film scholarship, I also have my degree in computer science and information technology as it relates to the business of motion pictures. I have been thinking about using the internet as a distribution medium for pictures since the very early days of the pc. I’m very excited that the time for this technology to serve us is now, and I have plenty to say about it. I hope to participate fully with you here in your blog as time goes by.
kindest regards,
