Articles would arrive by FedEx on disk, with new versions often flying back and forth the same way in an editorial process that BOARD OF DIRECTORS stretched out to weeks per piece.

Feedback from our readers is both immediate, Nelson George through email, and public, on our blog. With his Panasonic HVX200P and Final Cut Pro, Howard Graff Jamie Stuart singlehandedly creates for our website idiosyncratic yet gorgeous short films that Dan Klores would have required the services of small crews years ago. Jeffrey Levy-Hinte In looking then at independent film during a time that has spanned Pulp Fiction and Blair Jewell Jackson McCabe Witch, mumblecore and Michael Moore, YouTube, Kazaa and Netflix, it’s easy to see that a lot John Penotti has changed but a lot has also stayed the same. And while it may be easier more efficient, Carole Rifkind even to make a microbudget film today, the kinds of inefficiencies that caused us to labori- John Schmidt ously scan photos and FedEx edits still seem to exist when it comes to the distribution and Cyndi Stivers marketing of indie movies. Hopefully as we approach Web 3.0 the business of independent Mark Urman film will make it to version 2.0. We look forward to being hear to talk about it. I also want to Joana Vicente take a moment now to thank Jay Milla for his great work as publisher over the last two years Lance Weiler and to wish him well in his new position as publisher of Moving Pictures Magazine ..
