This Is All I’m Sayin’

There’s a must-listen episode this week on Rob Long’s “Martini Shot” podcast. Rob comments on how the power of the entertainment gatekeeper may be diminishing thanks to the advent of the self-publishing of video entertainment (and, as always, he does so in an exceedingly humorous fashion — after all, he is a professional comedy writer).

Kind of the model we’ve been working from for a while now.

So while you’re at it, go back and watch the movies again. Maybe watch “Loose Ends” while listening to the commentary track...

(And if you’re so inclined, say something nice about us at iTMS.)

Following Right Behind the Pack

Never let it be said that I’m not willing to jump right onto a bandwagon once it’s gained irresistable momentum.

We have officially started a podcast for Tohubohu Productions. For now, the idea is to chronicle our upcoming 48 Hour Film Project venture, and pass on what we’ve learned about no-budget filmmaking* along the way.

Details about the podcast (well, what details there are, anyway) are available on the main podcast page, though you can also find it at the iTunes Music Store (which, frankly, I just find too cool for words).

So you too can hear me ramble on (my delivery making Quentin Tarantino seem like he’s on quaaludes) about making movies.

* Yes, I know digital video is not film. So what I’m doing is not technically “filmmaking.” But in the jumping-on-the-bandwagon spirit, I’m going with the crowd on this one. I think I can safely acknowledge that I’ve lost that argument.
