2010 Stand | Time To Choose | The Control Vs Open Cinema Manifesto | Open Distribution

“Watch original shows, join the mob and fight the Control.

Don’t just sit there, participate! Vote, promote, learn and help revolutionize the way we tell stories.”

“The Control,”  in case you cannot tell, is the existing distribution system through the Hollywood machine, and, in a way, it is the existing Multiple Listing System.

In so many ways, the ‘ open-MLS’  movement in the Real Estate industry, and the changes that are taking place also in film making as a result of the digital revolution, are similar:

Just as the distribution and dissemination of video is no longer in Hollywood control, the M.L.S.’s and N.A.R. are no longer in charge of the real estate market.

Ok, so this is an ‘unpleasant truth’, as certain politicians would put it when they are stumping for: the rules have changed, and the world is now flat.

I, for one,  am interested in knowing what you are going to do about it?

  • Perhaps you would like to sign this manifesto that will loosen the lock on creativity and give control and ownership back to the artists themselves.
  • Perhaps we need an open-MLS manifesto of our own, our own “movement”
  • What are your thoughts on these changes and what are you going to do about it?
In the words of Bob Dylan:
“The storm outside a raging, will soon bang on your windows and rattle your walls…the times they are a changing…”
