Last week I attended a film distribution seminar in NYC at which I learned about an interesting new project being launched by Tribeca Film Institute, called Reframe. Essentially, their goal is to:
"help individual filmmakers, broadcasters, distributors, public media organizations, archives, libraries and other media owners digitize, market and sell their classic and hard-to-find films and video content using the Internet. The Reframe website, www.reframecollection.org, will be a one-stop location and an important resource for filmmakers and distributors wanting to bring films to educators, film scholars and the general public; it will be a destination for scholars, artists, teachers and film enthusiasts to easily search for and locate content."
Although my films are already digital, this will hopefully be a great place for projects that never found distribution to have a new life. For example, "What's So Funny?", my first doc, would be perfect for this.
In speaking to the representative from Tribeca and explaining what the film was about & its journey so far, she actually said I sounded like "the poster child" for the project. Very cool...
Stay tuned...
