The gods of credit came down and handed us tablets of plastic and lo and beholda film was born. Sure, hard work and years of sweat and swear words played a part too, but that mighty card made it possible to pull art out of thin air. And it was like magic — when you needed credit, it appeared. A lot of films got made, but so did a lot of debt. In fact most Americans are swimming in debt. ESTHER B. ROBINSON (film producer and founder of ArtHome) explains how to build a solid creative foundation so that you can not only sustain but thrive.

Special thanks to MassArt and David Tames for being hosts to the DIY DAYS and FHTA events this past weekend. On Saturday we held our last DIY DAYS event in the US until next year. It was a day full of workshops, presentations and round tables. We'll be posting various audio, video and power point files in the coming weeks. All the content is open so feel free to embed and spread. DIY DAYS Boston opened with a conversation with Todd Dagres. Thanks to Scott Kirsner over at CinemaTech for recording and posting the conversation. We'll be posting the video soon.
Todd has produced several independent films (including the Sundance entry 'TransSiberian' this year), but he is best known as a venture capitalist who funds start-up companies like Veoh, EQAL, Twitter, and Next New Networks. Our conversation focused on how TV is changing... the as-yet-unproven business models of Internet video... financing and making independent films... how distribution is evolving... and why the word "community" ought to replace the word "audience" in your vocabulary
Listen Now [audio:http://diydays.com/audio/DagresAtDIYdays.mp3] And big thanks to everyone that helped us to stage four DIY DAYS events (LA, SF, NYC, Boston) in the last four months. We're in the planning stages for next year so if you have suggestions on where we should hold events, speakers we should include, projects we should cover, ways to improve the events or if you'd like to volunteer to help make an event possible we'd love to hear from you.]]> http://diydays.com/2008/10/thank-you-boston/feed/ 0 EXTENDING THE STORYWORLD – case study http://diydays.com Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:02:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 .:WBP presents DIY DAYS a roving conference series for those who create - » diy days http://diydays.com Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:02:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 DIY DAYS Philly: NINA PALEY Sita Sings the Blues http://diydays.com/2009/08/diy-days-philly-nina-paley-sita-sings-the-blues/ http://diydays.com/2009/08/diy-days-philly-nina-paley-sita-sings-the-blues/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:29:50 +0000 lw http://diydays.com/?p=391 TALK - SITA SINGS THE BLUES Distribution Project Report “If it’s free, how do you make money?” 5 months after the Creative Commons Share Alike release of her animated musical feature Sita Sings the Blues, Nina Paley presents the first round of hard data from the project.

Special thanks to MassArt and David Tames for being hosts to the DIY DAYS and FHTA events this past weekend. On Saturday we held our last DIY DAYS event in the US until next year. It was a day full of workshops, presentations and round tables. We'll be posting various audio, video and power point files in the coming weeks. All the content is open so feel free to embed and spread. DIY DAYS Boston opened with a conversation with Todd Dagres. Thanks to Scott Kirsner over at CinemaTech for recording and posting the conversation. We'll be posting the video soon.
Todd has produced several independent films (including the Sundance entry 'TransSiberian' this year), but he is best known as a venture capitalist who funds start-up companies like Veoh, EQAL, Twitter, and Next New Networks. Our conversation focused on how TV is changing... the as-yet-unproven business models of Internet video... financing and making independent films... how distribution is evolving... and why the word "community" ought to replace the word "audience" in your vocabulary
Listen Now [audio:http://diydays.com/audio/DagresAtDIYdays.mp3] And big thanks to everyone that helped us to stage four DIY DAYS events (LA, SF, NYC, Boston) in the last four months.

The gods of credit came down and handed us tablets of plastic and lo and beholda film was born. Sure, hard work and years of sweat and swear words played a part too, but that mighty card made it possible to pull art out of thin air. And it was like magic — when you needed credit, it appeared. A lot of films got made, but so did a lot of debt. In fact most Americans are swimming in debt. ESTHER B.
