-- Facebook Was Vital For Indie Filmmakers. Now Their Followers Are Held Hostage, and the Ransom Keeps Changing via Indiewire
"Until recently, indie filmmakers viewed building a Facebook community as essential to success. That’s a belief they’d like to maintain — but it’s now extremely difficult without an ad buy. And while there are other social media platforms, Facebook has 2.2 billion monthly users and a unique ability to combine visuals, text, links and two-way conversations with followers. For now, that’s an audience reach and level of engagement that can’t be duplicated."

Show Note

[00:23:04] CGI in films
I mean everyone everybody gives CGI a bad rap because obviously it's overused in cinema. And you know I for one just touch quickly on superhero movies and things that I grew up as a fan of superheroes and everything but even now now I watch a film and they're very well-made but there's always some point where you watch a full CGI fight and it's just not interesting because it's full CGI but that's not because there's no performance to it you know except obviously the guys who are doing the effects there they're amazingly talented and everything.
