Thanks to everyone who came along to support the little Open Business talk I gave at Corbet's Place on Fri. Nice to see re-mixable film bods in the crowd and meet some of you in the flesh for the first time!

For everyone else - MOD Films, the biz, is going through a major change in direction to focus much more clearly on a generic web platform and services. This has the benefit of making the work a lot more relevent to more people but it has held up the completion and release of original titles.

I do appreciate that we haven't exactly delivered on what you wanted most out of this group - a mass of re-mixable assets. All I can say is that everything is moving forward, albeit a lot slower than expected. But then again, according to industry pundits, we may be SIX YEARS away from a re-mixable film paradigm. I think it's a helluva lot closer, don't you?

"Why don't you just release the material you have?"

That's exactly why the platform is taking centre stage now, over and above any title. In an age where the average attention span for new things is less than 5 seconds, providing convenient access to film assets (convenient for creators, re-mixers and non-techies) is no small task.

Keep the feedback coming, if there's no community there's no point.

Cheers
