A lot of the points, taken separately, seem like pretty common sense stuff, but taken as a whole they present a very cogent picture of where and why certain strategies fail and others work. Don't miss the comments, either. They're all really insightful, and will give you an idea of the bigger picture behind the support structure for the independent film community. A compellingly odd take on why people are choosing DIY.</p> <p><a href="http://www.indiewire.com/biz/2006/03/first_person_br.html" title="http://www.indiewire.com/biz/2006/03/first_person_br.html">http://www.indiewire.com/biz/2006/03/first_person_br.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/chicago_underground_library/blog/the_future_of_nonprofit_film_and_media_orgs">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/chicago_underground_library/blog/the_future_of_nonprofit_film_and_media_orgs#comment distribution film independent culture nonprofit not-for-profit video Thu, 03 May 2007 14:11:58 -0400 Chicago Underground Library 1886 at http://www.punkplanet.com
