Here is a group that is doing spectacular work in helping filmmakers get their message to the masses. We need to help and support young filmmakers. It takes on average 3.6 years for a documentary film to be produced and distributed. Since 1957, the entire documentary industry has only generated $ 2.0 billion in total worldwide box office. Think about that. In 50 years, every film produced and released has generated less than one quarter (90 days) worth of Google’s revenues. There are now 1,000 film festivals around the world and in the US, there are 355 public broadcast television outlets. We need to support these institutions to make sure the people’s voice is heard through this amazing media called film and to make sure the media becomes more and more relevant to a broadband enabled world.
