Bootstrapping the movie biz

In the up coming comedy "Be Kind Rewind" actors Jack Black and Mos Def portray friends who create their own versions of hit movies after they accidentally erase the entire inventory of a local video store.

Creative independent film making has become an ever more viable business for those able to use the opportunities created by the new media for production and distribution.

Self taught special effects guru Erik Beck uses his vlogcast Backyard FX to show viewers how to create everything from...

A werewolf for $50...

To a swamp monster for $35...

His show is posted every Monday as part of Indie Mogul, a network dedicated to independent film making for the YouTube generation.
Distribution can be managed in a variety of ways including:
• a monetized blog with imbedded video from YouTube or another site of its ilk,
• sales of videos from on demand services like Lulu.com
• or direct purchase through services like Monkrat for an annual fee.

Lights, camera, bootstrap!
