Blogs on Independent Filmmaking (3)

Film Specific is a blog specifically intended to educate independent film and television producers on distribution. They provide the ongoing training and a suite of professional resources needed to succeed in the global content marketplace - some of the services are free, some aren't. They claim to have hundreds of independent producers in their global community who are educating and empowering themselves, and getting distribution for their films and programmes. Here's a snippet on the business of film.....
We'd all love to believe the world of independent film is all about art for art's sake, but if you were to ask any distributor what is the main motivation behind all their acquisitions, they would tell you it ultimately comes down to dollars. Pure and simple just like any other business. While the indie world is obviously more open to original ideas and fresh voices and that remains its true bread and butter, it is still a business and the rules of business apply.
