Making individuals, bloggers and website owners virtual movie theater operators is a big idea. Using film to drive charitable giving and to enhance self-expression via donation of pixels is working. We have created a brand new giant distribution channel for indie films. It is scaling virally and massively as we planned. Thanks everyone for your support.

Tribeca in Full Swing

Posted on by

While in NYC for the Caps vs. Rangers playoff games, I couldn’t help but notice that the Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing. This is such an important film festival with such noble aims. I hope all of you will find a way to support these great folks. Go take in a movie; donate to one of their worthy charities; and adopt and support a filmmaker.

And of course read indieWIRE daily. Click here. We love film festivals and directors and artists. We will cover every nook and cranny of this event. We celebrate it. It is that important to the community.

IndieWIRE is a part of the SnagFilms network of sites. It is growing fast. Its new design has been a huge hit with the industry and with readers and advertisers. We are proud to do our part to help in any way we can.

Do You Know How Big Your Footprint Is?

Human Footprint is a very sobering film and very worthy of your time this Earth Day week. Click here to watch it on SnagFilms.

We each make a huge impact on our environment - most of it fairly negative – during our life span as consumers.

This is a well produced film with great graphics and great knowledge sharing. The narration and writing is very good. 

Check it out and take a second to think about how we can do better.
