Self-Reliant Film: A blog about DIY Distribution
Self-Reliant Filmmaking was begun by Paul Harrill in late November 2005. The mission of the blog is discussed in the first post:
"The purpose of this weblog is to talk about and to encourage the practice of making high-quality films at a low-cost and/or with small-labor systems. A good term for this practice is “Self-Reliant Filmmaking.”
Self-reliant filmmaking is interesting for at least two reasons:
Less interference, more production: Self-reliance can let filmmakers bypass in whole or in part the common gatekeepers of cinema production (i.e., studios, production companies, etc.) and exhibition (i.e., major distributors). Needless to say, not needing a corporation’s permission to make a movie can free you to make more of them.
Handcrafting: We believe, quite simply, that the way something is made shapes the nature of the thing itself. Self-reliant films are by definition handcrafted, and this is a good thing for today’s cinema, which needs as many human, soulful works as it can get."

Workbook Project
Workbook Project's goal is to create a free resource for content creators that will become a user contributed repository of information. The concept is part of an ?open source social experiment? called the workbook project. It?s a simple concept, the workbook is meant to be spread and edited. Meaning that content creators can add their own info, war stories, advice etc. We?re hoping that the workbook can grow as a resource. We?re building it with an open source ?client side? wiki called tiddlywiki that can be saved to the desktop, edited and then uploaded again.
