This is informative as a filmmaker you want to connect with other film makers.

Check out the spoofs:

Actually why wouldnt you get to see painting in the internet? Now Im not talkin about experiencing it "live" at gallery, I know that kind of experience is laking.

What comes to "Hollywood" films, they are over rated, highly paid film actors being snobby is exactly what I hate, but who wouldnt love to see another Jim Carrey, Swartzenegger or Stallone film? - I really would ! :D ...but still stuff that comes from Russia, India and Asia has good films too. :)

This has to be one of the best detailed description's of where the net is going - great post thanks.

As a new filmmaker this video is like having your cake and getting to eat it

i agree with fisher stevens more than the others.

Take a look at Saintrambone's videos. I do not have the forced injections at the hands of USA federal government in the nightmare I endured after FDIC bank examiner employment, in which I reported murder, likely money laundering, and a syndicated criminal network within the fed and the FDIC. I pledge allegiance to the investigative reporter and scientist who cracks the enigma in USA courts and governments, in my experience, Los Angeles to San Francisco to D.C. to lower Alabama and North FL.

I would agree the internet brings the best and worst. But, Hollywood films and Independent films are definitely good and bad. The internet has given me a stage to show my work. I love it.
