Nothing to say but thank you. In the Sixties we had to drive to obscure locations to view experimental films. It has become a lot easier to make and to view these visual and narrative experiments. It is 90% for the better.

effigy, thanks for this.

My freind has a short film on there called:
A short length of hose.

I helped him out with props and such, basically just being an extra hand. The experience gave me a new appreciation for the grueling hard work and dedication that goes into creating this art. Especially when your an young independent filmmaker and your budget is your most recent paycheck from your day job.
