C’mon, Jason: you wouldn’t shoot a documentary entirely in negative film, would you? Your presentation is horribly getting in the way of your content.

Technically, I’m just explaining why I’m not going crazy calling up TV people begging for meetings or looking for agents to talk to the TV people and so on. And how little I think of the industry (not the medium itself; video to the home in real time rules). It’s a world where Pink Floyd reunited and did 4 songs! Anything is possible!

I’m just not going to be on the street corner with a sign saying “Please pay attention to me, TV Land”.

Again, it’s less a case of not wanting to see it go out into the world through those channels, or that there wouldn’t be people who watch those channels in droves who wouldn’t enjoy it… it’s that I don’t want to deal with them.

Netflix is just another entity buying DVD copies, so that’s great as far as I’m concerned.

I think that’s what you’re missing in your flawed analogy, Sparkey; I’ve been down this road, I’ve seen it both as a participant and as a very close observer (helping friends who were going through these processes). I’m not a guy who is sitting in his mountaintop refusing to walk to the big city because I heard Here Be Monsters; I have sat with said Monsters in discussions and work. I have had my work on television before, I have seen what happens.

This isn’t a case of dooming myself before I begin. This is me looking at the big shred-o-matic and going “I don’t feel like going for a swim this time.”
