The inappropriate laughter, the contempt for material which doesn't evince post-modernist irony and offer up smirking knowingness -- well, one dose of such an audience is quite enough.<a href="http://www.my-thesis.net/" rel="nofollow">write my thesis</a><br> Anyone who has ever viewed the classics in a room full of under 30s can only leave the theater dismayed.

It's a labor of love, with solid performances, great action (all actors performed their own stunts) and marvelous cinematography. When the worst (and only) critique you get is "there's no name actors in it", I think you've done a hell of a good job for a DIY film.

Leaving that off is like creating a list of web video thinkers and leaving off The Guild. but now that I think about it, to cover what makes Artemis Eternal's project extraordinary might warrant it's own entry. Of course lists of any kind get more play online. ;)<br />A couple things on this list I hadn't heard of -- thanks for posting. I agree that Artemis Eternal is missing.

This is a great list and we're honored to be on it. We're particularly big fans of Peter Broderick and Scott Macaulay, who gave us guidance on CHILDREN OF INVENTION. We'd also like to thank Becky Glupczynski, producer of Corey McAbee's STINGRAY SAM, for her helpful tips. Also, producer's rep Nguyen Tran, writer-director Dave Boyle (WHITE ON RICE), and Dylan Marchetti of theatrical distribution company Variance Films (http://variancefilms.com/), for their invaluable guidance on DIY distribution. These 3 guys have been doing/helping DIY efforts for several years now, and really understand how to self-release with limited resources. Last but not least, thank YOU for all your support this year! And here are the rest of the folks we'd like to thank for making 2009 a great year for CHILDREN OF INVENTION: http://childrenofinvention.com/thanks.htm (many of these folks aren't on the screen credits b/c they helped after the film was finished, with fests/promo/distrib). Thanks again and let's try to save indie film in 2010! Thanks for the kind shout-out, Ted! This is a great list and we're honored to be on it.

No-money production of a really good flick. He's got a very good take on independent production and distribution.

Also painfully missing is the Artemis Eternal project. Arguably wiser, more skilled and exciting, and with far more merit than any of the bring-your-film-to-us-for-crowdfunding or crowdsourcing sites. Artists direct with audience and no new gatekeepers (in other words, the same problems) created. The artist/filmmaker behind that big idea is JM Stover. http://www.artemiseternal.com http://www.jessicastover.com and the audience involved are a diverse group called "The Wingmen" of which I count myself one.<br /><br />There are two others missing from here which also I believe arguably are of more merit, but no list is perfect and I'm glad to see some attention on the matter from someone whom the indie community respects. :-) I posted this at The Wrap too :
