I just noticed that my Brightcove media players for Mad Dog Movies and Animatus are no longer working. Why? Because they’re discontinuing their free hosting services. According to their FAQ, the announcement was made a month ago, then videos went offline January 31st. It’s possible they sent me a warning email, but it would have […]

Over the last few years, I’ve become something of a Lost scholar. After each episode airs, I read commentary from Doc Jensen of Entertainment Weekly, The Tail Section, and sometimes Doc Ardzt.

Thanks to Tim Gross, whom I met at Cleveland’s Cinema Wasteland. He gave The Other Gods a plug in his latest newsletter, Gross Movie Reviews #139: A very beautiful animated short worth checking out, especially if you are a Lovecraft fan. Tim posts his capsule reviews at Bastards of Horror, and has published three books […]

Up until now, iTunes has made it difficult for independent filmmakers to sell their work through their service. They want to deal with big studios or distributors, not a million little guys who require a million little checks once a month. The alternative has been to give away iPod friendly files in podcast feeds, but […]
