The film world has changed over the years. There are more and more Indie filmmakers like myself and many of you. The Internet has brought a whole new way to find your target crowd.
The Internet has also brought something else. It has created a group of people who watch Internet videos. There is nothing wrong with this at all, but in some cases from people I've spoken to who land in this group, they will sit there for hours watching 2 min videos, but they can't always watch a full length movie. They don't have the patience, and if they do have the patience they don't care so much about watching it in the theater. They'll netflix it, or get it on iTunes for their iPod. Granted not everyone in this group are like this, but it does scare me a little.
I have always had the belief that the best way to experience a film is on the big screen. My father used to take my little brother and me to see movies in theaters all the time. You get to sit with a crowd of people, who are going to experience it with you. Everyone reacts to the same things you are. You jump, laugh, yelp, with everyone. It's a bonding experience. You can't beat what it's like.
So when people say that they'll netflix a movie they really want to see scares me. It's telling me that the big screen experience could start to die out. I know that there are too many people out there today who feel the same way I do, for it to go quickly, but it can eventually be a possibility.
Well that's it for now. I now do a video blog/podcast look it up on iTunes, just go to the iTunes store and look up Round Table Reels. It's free to subscribe!
