“My hope is that digital technology will level things out more and that it will eventually eliminate favoritism. But technology cannot do it alone. The audience has to become more discriminating as well and not buy into every big tentpole movie because they have been brainwashed into thinking that's the movie to see.” ThinkingWellsHas BeensBigsLevelsTechnologyAudienceDigitalBrainwashedDigital TechnologyFavoritism Author:Lexi Alexander

“The digital world has allowed me a connection with my reader that I'd never had before. I didn't meet the people who read my material. The fan letters were mostly answered by professional people that'd done them for a living. And I didn't have any daily connection with their response to my work. I didn't have a relationship with my audience. And every artist should have it.” PeopleWorldShouldDoneArtistAudienceFansMaterialsReaderLettersConnectionsShould HaveResponseDigitalDigital World Author:Berkeley Breathed
“I think distribution has become a lot harder. With the whole explosion of digital video, there's just a lot more people making films. Distributors have a lot more choice. I do think there's an audience out there for small films. It's obvious to me what the studios do: they've co-opted independent film. They all have their independent arm. They can afford to crush the competition.” PeopleThinkingWholeFilmChoicesAudienceArmsHarderIndependentCompetitionObviousStudiosVideoCrushDigitalDistributionExplosionsIndependent FilmDistributors Author:Steve Buscemi
