David Lynch’s Interview Project, on youtube, is a beautiful example of the opportunities that artists are taking advantage of during this time of great changes in the old distribution models.

Universal partners with TCM to make its classics library available on DVD.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has come out of the closet and acknowledged that the old distribution model is no longer viable. Yeah, I know, right? Disney!

The Discovery & Distribution Award will be granted to the winning filmmaker who will receive a one week theatrical run in LA complete with PR, street team and social media support, as well as a mentoring session with an established director and/or producer!
