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.

Waterfalls and chaos

I linked to this paper on wicked problems the other day and Chris Corrigan commented “there’s a lot in that paper eh?”. Which is true.

Keeping up with Tony Goodson

The competitive streak in me means I need to keep with Tony Goodson’s blog. The struggles of learning to speak “Movable Type” and thoughts on the nature of blogging.

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.

The volatile chemistry of trust

Interesting research from Stanford suggests that exciting brands get more trusted after making mistakes and putting them right whilst more “sincere” brands start with more trust but lose it more easily. Perhaps the sensible interpretation is that second-guessing customers can be a waste of time!
