Beyond Miramax
Far from Hollywood, new filmmaking communities emerge
(Page 4 of 4)
"The only use I have for money, quite frankly, is to pay my survival bills and to fund my movies," says Alli. "I'm pretty low-maintenance. As for fame and recognition, I don't really have that much use for it, with the exception of wanting my name known as an exhibition filmmaker so people can come see the movies in the only places where they're shown."
If the boundaries between the home movie and the independent film are breaking down, then this is another consequence of that: Not just home movies transformed, via the Net, into pop phenomena, but an increasing number of serious film artists with little or no interest in reaching a mass market. Not just Hyakugojyuuichi!!, but Tragos.
Other arts have long had space for both. For a long time, it looked like film would have little room for either.
