BAFF Panel Video
Here is the video of the Big Apple Film Festival panel I did last month.
The video is also available in higher-bandwidth Flash or as an AVI download on my blip.tv channel. Please comment here and/or on the YouTube Watch page, where you can rate it as well. As usual The Film Panel Notetaker has notes.
Peter Goldwyn and I disagreed on a few things, which made for a fun and interesting discussion. He seems like a smart guy, and it was good to hear from Peter and Clémence, who have very different sets of experiences.
Correction: In our discussion, I compared the theatrical film industry to the bottled water industry. I mis-stated some figures. Upon further research, I realized that the global bottled water business generates $50bn, whereas the U.S. market is closer to $10 billion (source: ResearchBuy MarketWikis). However, this is still more than the annual U.S. theatrical gross of $9.49bn (source: MPAA). So I think my point is still valid.

Brian, did you have to wear that shirt? Anyway, good job. Love the part where you say there will absolutely be day and date in 10 years. I can’t believe it’s even a debate. Of course it will be.
I liked your advice about being prepared for self distribution.
