...Being a person who lives online and in the theatrical/tvland vortex. I gotta spill on this one.
Since I started making work online, my time has been designated to making those pieces and I haven't had time to apply to festivals and so on. However, all of the gallery shows, theaters and festivals that I have had the pleasure of taking part in were brought to my attention because curators and programmers spotted my work online. How awesome is that! People push me to make various forms of films from my little pieces that are developed here. I would never have been able to meet as many folks or have these opportunities - in such a short time - unless it were here online. Especially since I work fulltime making other peoples' films by day. My point is that working online as a filmmaker has been incredible in terms of inspiration and opportunities...and meeting such a diverse group of people. My other point is that the "stiff" upper brow types are looking. They do look. And they are starting to acknowledge this form with validation. How can they not?! -- ___s c r a t c h http://www.scratchvideo.tv
