Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

At DIY Days Boston, Todd Dagres, founder of Spark Capital, producer of Sundance entry TransSiberian, and venture capitalist (Twitter, Veoh, EQAL and Next New Networks) talks with Scott Kirsner of Cinematech on the future of the industry.

from The Workbook Project

DIY Days is the brainchild of Lance Weiler (Head Trauma) and asks:

How do we sustain ourselves as filmmakers and storytellers in this day of shifting film distribution systems? How do we monetize our film and get the word out? Presented by From Here to Awesome the Workbook Project and Current TV – DIY DAYS aims to answer these questions with a day of panels, roundtable discussions and workshops: A look at how to fund, create, distribute and sustain.

The pretty cool thing is that it is free!  So if you find yourself in the LA area and you check it out, let me know how it went.  More info here
