Part of the NEW BREED

I am very proud to announce that I am now included in an illustrious group of filmmakers — a collective known as NEW BREED.

Its curator — filmmaker Zak Forsman — is a tour-de-force in the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) filmmaking realm.  He took notice to my latest feature film project WHAT’S UP LOVELY and invited me to contribute my experiences of creating a film with very little money and “traditional” resources.

NEW BREED is part of the larger group known as the WORKBOOK PROJECT — which is a huge movement in modern indie filmmaking.

According to its website: “The WBP, through its website, R&D projects such as festival From Here to Awesome and roving conference DIY Days, provides insight into the process of funding, creating, distributing and sustaining as a creator of media (film, games, music, design, software).

Focused on innovation, new trends, cutting edge projects and an open approach to a once closed industry. The WBP offers a breath of fresh air by removing the competitive trappings of the media industry and replacing them with a collaborative and open system that shares resources, networking, information and knowledge.”

NEW BREED recently participated in DIY DAYS PHILADELPHIA. The event featured over 40 speakers and 22 sessions providing insight into how those working in film, games, software, music and design can fund, create, distribute and sustain from their creative efforts.

Needless to say these are exciting times for indie film — and I am honored to be part of the DIY movement.
