what’s new

We here at Olive Street Films are considering taking a new direction. Based on the growing use and popularity of the read/write web (aka “Web 2.0″) and the explosion of web media, we are planning a move to produce and distribute more online media content…which means, big changes to the website (I haven’t told this to Kathleen, our webmaster, yet, so I hope she doesn’t kill us!) and to the way we interact with you, the audience. More details to follow, but we feel this will be a positive change.

In the meantime, we just bought a FlipVideo camera (thanks to iJustine, who seems to have the Oprah touch when it comes to new tech products!), so plan to see more content using that vehicle soon as well. Let’s hear it for low tech, low-fi art!

the new site is live!

If you got here via the new and improved Olive Street Films site, go back and check it out! Retooled and redesigned by the very talented Kathleen, it has flash and links and pages and stuff! And someday soon, it will even have clips, but for now you can view those here, silly!

networking

Well, exciting things are happening, bit by bit. Lukfire has just designed a sweet looking logo for us, and it will be up on our new website (which she is also designing as we speak) soon. Another key moment this week was having Buns and Chou Chou(internet celebrities!) comment on my short film on YouTube. If you’re not familiar with these witty bunnies, check ‘em out on YouTube, Salon or at http://rabbitbites.com. I also hope to be meeting this weekend with some people via a young guy from Phoenix who is an enthusiastic advocate of web networking. Networking, friends, in this age of web 2.0 (yes, I used that phrase, so what) is KEY.
