| "Hyperdistribution" | Sydney Film Festival, June 2006 MP3 Audio |
This short, direct talk to filmmakers attending the Sydney International Film Festival lays out the basic ideas behind "hyperdistribution", or audience -driven distribution of films and television programmes. The economics of production and distribution of media have changed radically - can filmmakers adapt to the new rules? |

This keynote presentation for DIGIMART was designed to shock & inform producers of digital films into a new sense of the empowerment of the audience in the age of pervasive networking. It's funny, and I hope, insighful. |
