I was invited down to the Make Media Now conference to give a talk about Open Source Cinema. Fun times! I ran into some friends and did some bowling with Lance Weiler of The WorkBook Project. Now, Lance is an OK bowler (although), but a much better self-distributor. Lance has had a lot of success DIY releasing whis last two feature films, Head Trauma, and The Last Broadcast.
He was able to turn a profit and keep rights on these projects by pioneering some innovate theatrical distribution techniques, and now he is sharing this knowledge at The WorkBookProject, which is an open source filmmakers handbook. Lots of great information in there, and he's opening the book for other contributions. We agreed to do an interview on rights issues for documentary filmmakers, and I'll post it when Lance and my schedules allow it to be done.
I'm going to do a Duck Tour now.
