When we started Filmmaker in 1992, DIY moviemaking meant scoring
recans, enrolling in a community college to get student discounts and
free equipment, and buying an old flatbed editing table and sticking
it in your kitchen. And unless you lucked out and nabbed a
distribution deal from one of the new indie companies, marketing that
film meant piling the reels in your backseat and driving from festival
to festival to get people to see it.
Today, as Filmmaker joins MySpace in its new MySpace Film page, the
challenges that limited moviemaking to only the most masochistic have
disappeared. Digital video has transformed both shooting and editing.
Bloggers are spreading the word about films critics are ignoring.
Video podcasting is creating a new, accessible and very personal style
of filmmaking. And online communities like MySpace are connecting
filmmakers who want to inspire each other and film viewers simply
looking for something good to watch.
As we build out our profile on MySpace, we'll also be doing here what
we've done in the magazine: throwing a spotlight on some great movies
and getting their directors to share with you the process of their
productions. We'll be coming up with weekly picks of stuff you should
know about, and we'll be offering a lot of advice on how to make
movies. And we'll look forward to meeting filmmakers here, learning
about your films, and hopefully helping by spreading the word.

...before the film...there was the movie. From Pink & Blue films, "THE" ALTERNATIVE "W THE MOVIE". Unlike Oliver Stone, we haven't lost our balls and this one takes a side.
JOE SHEARER: CRITIC INDY. COM, INDIANAPOLIS STAR. " Nightmarish, provocative and Imaginative. ' W the Movie' portrays George W. Bush as a cruel, sadistic,psychopathic tyrant. Best character: Alfred Eaker as BlueMahler, a free-thinker who dares to take on a tyrannical government."
