I agree that independent web production deserves more attention from scholars, so towards that end, I'm curious if there some important issues that must be brought into the conversation? While I appreciate the efforts of the digital producers, I� ...
I'd like to second Bill--this film was not on my radar, so thanks for the introduction. With some hesitation about commenting on a film I have not seen in full, I nevertheless offer a reaction. As I watched, I thought about a child at play. If Ren ...

One of the recurring themes this week has been place--with your post highlighting the culmination of the professionalization of the festival in the construction of an official headquarters. Yet this one building's construction also references other ...
