The Future of Feature
|
|
The Internet is now a content utopia for short form and episodic media, designed to distract from your day and give you short bursts of entertainment and information - but what does the internet and mobile mean for the future of feature? Does long format entertainment still have a place online; does the internet and mobile represent a legitimate platform for distribution, will legal types get upset, and will filmmakers and audiences play ball when it comes to producing and the simple act of watching?
