Pete Smith Making music is a labour of love, making money is a by-product.

In a perfect world we would give all our music away for free and survive on touring revenue, merchandising and licensing income. Alas this is not always possible. In order to eat we have to sell a few CD’s. The good news is that all tracks on this site have been released under this creative commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0 We have made many Antiqcool songs free to download for a reason, we want you to… Continue

FilmNet You Gotz to Learn It on Cyber Streets

As you explore FilmNet’s vast reserves of films, you’ll notice: some people’s work stands out. Sure there are titles here produced by world class film schools with tons of resources, but there are just as many semi-professional short films made by modest means. You can tell they had the same type of equipment and the same amount of people at their disposal as you do on your productions, but their stuff is just so damn good… It’s all about making your film excel equally in all aspects. If you q… Continue

FilmNet Party at Our Place!

Launching a community site, like FilmNet, is kind of like trying to put on a party… in a tiny apartment… in Bosnia. It’s not so easy to get the A-list crowd (or any crowd) to show up. The way we see it, our greatness is inevitable. But right now, we just need to build up some street cred. And we can’t do it without you, our bestest friends in the whole world. We’ve put a lot of effort into developing the site and contacting people to be the initial set of users and contributors. Help us continu… Continue

James Waldron Reel People:Fishermen of Plum Island accepted at Woods Hole Film Festival

As a local North Shore documentarian, I'm very excited to share that my film has been accepted by the Woods Hole Film Festival at the end of July this year. It's my first film, self-produced and financed. More a character study of devoted fishermen than about fishing, it was filmed on Plum Island, Massachusetts, just off the coast of Newburyport. It's also showing June 5 and 6 at the Newburyport Firehouse Center for the Arts. I hope some of you might come.… Continue

Doris Anne Beaulieu Ramifications of Homeschooling

Hello, My name is Doris Anne Beaulieu. I have a website-Life’s Ultimate Test dot com-on which you can learn more about my mission to change the face of home schooling. I attended a parochial school as a child in the 1950's. In this Catholic school I was sheltered from the realities of the world around me-from swearing, from public displays of affection, from slang. These are often some of the same things that modern home schooling parents aim to protect their children from. A superior court judg… Continue

Phil Santoro Online Video Syndication and Optimization

Hello community! I just wanted to reach out to everybody and shed light on how I am taking advantage of the new "blended" search results that Google is producing. As you are all probably aware, videos are now integrated in Google's natural search. It also appears that they are being favored as apposed to traditional HTML. Anyways I have been practicing Video SEO, or the science of using video to dominate search engine results, for the past few months and am integrating it into my video productio… Continue

Susi Walsh/Center for Independen Chlotrudis Award Nominations 2009

Boston MA - Nominations for the 15th annual Chlotrudis Awards were finalized by the film group’s nominating committee this past weekend. Among the top nominations is a film that, for the first time ever, was deemed eligible for both the narrative and documentary categories, Guy Maddin’s MY WINNIPEG. A fantastically nostalgic look back at his hometown, this ‘docu-fantasia’ as Maddin has called it, mixes stock historical footage with surreal imagery and the director’s unique style to conjure up a… Continue
