NoTube Video

Not much to the title. It’s a play on YouTube (Or RedTube, if you’re into… well,that). Ever since a professor of mine told me “Film is dead honey, you’re in the wrong business” at a campus tour at Hofstra U for the class, it stuck with me. So much that I changed majors from Media Studies to New Media Technology. Meaning, instead of waiting for someone to tell me what movies I’ve made can actually make it to the Big Screen, I’ve chosen to learn how to self-publish/be an indie filmmaker/have a presence on the internet.

Let me elaborate:

Self-Publish: Seriously, if you don’t get this, I feel sad for you.

Be an Indie Filmmaker: I’ll have to raise my own funds and stuff. No need to wait for bigwig sponsors, but if I’ll have some people interested… :) It’s rude to say no. You know?

Have a presence on the Interwebs: Just that this blog is going to be about my life on the internet and in New York. It’s not going to be exclusively about videos/movies. I’ll also entertain some (occasional, I promise you) illusions of grandeur in here, and maybe even a few tantrums. I don't really have a tendency to be a diva or anything, but I am a certified dreamer. So. Expect more delusions than tantrums. Oh, and photos from my phone. People see who and how I am, and they might get interested to work on a project with me.

So seriously, how many indie films ever made it to the Tubes [TVs]? Yeah, my point exactly. Hence, NoTube Videos. Of course if one of my films (my currently nonexistent films; yes, I have a nasty habit of procrastinating) make it to TVs, I’ll have to change my blog title. But that’s a huge stretch from now.

Or maybe not. :) Mom and I are working on a Media Company right now, soooo… :)
