Boost

Declan Elliott highlights the launch of Boost Digital, a distribution platform for independent filmmakers:

A platform where the work stands and falls on the individual talent of the artist, not on who they happen to know, where they happen to live, or which parties they happen to be lucky enough to attend.

Declan’s view:

Knowing how the entertainment industry has traditionally operated Boost Digital is a glimpse of the bright future which lies ahead in a digital world. It makes me wonder how many more years hopefuls will continue to attend events such as the Screenwriting Expo for a shot at making it in the entertainment industry. The days of Hollywood remaining the gatekeeper and center of the entertainment universe are numbered.

The power of community

Earlier today I was writing about passion brands and the power of community. I got a small but interesting example of this principle in action when I visited Ton Zijltra’s blog to find that he’s opened a separate blog on his planned abandonment of Microsoft.

Passion brands bring people together based on common interests and excitements. I’m particularly interested in ones created from the bottom up, as opposed to driven by producers concerned mainly with profit.
