For the longest while I have
been struck by the fact that with so many great indie films being made
all over the World but they seem to be nearly impossible to see when I
WANT! Coupled with the never-ending requests ‘where can I see this film
again?’ that happen after films screen at ÉCU, it seems to be only
logical to have a place where audiences and independent filmmakers
connect.

Now there are a lot of avenues for this to happen, and we have
all been bombarded with requests to go on this digital system here, or
this web platform over there, but I’ve decided to launch The European
Independent Film Channel in conjunction with JOOST and Boulder Creek
International. Again, as we know we are in the infancy of this
revolution and there is nearly no, I repeat nearly NO, money in this
(the revenue stream is a transparent split).

But as a filmmaker whose films have made successful festival
circuit tours, I’m bugged when I see them snuggled up nice and
cozy-like under my bed doing not much at all. I’d like to have them out
in front of people earning a couple of cents every time one is watched.
Anyone agree?
