FilmmakerIQ.com – The Realities of DIY Filmmaking

Taken from the Workbookproject.com “DIY Days” this video shows an awesome pannel of DIY Filmmakers and their Self-Distribution process as they discuss the realities of DIY Filmmaking.  Take a moment to watch this – get past the crappy video coverage and really try to absorbe what it is that they are saying here!

Also – have I mentioned how much I love FilmmakerIQ.com?!!  Such an awesome resources!!
