Cinelan & Snag Films

This is going to be short. Had a wonderful day today singing at the community center and meeting a keyboardist who has invited me to sit in with him at a club in Westlake. What fun! It's been a very long time since I did this. Nice to know I still can and people want to listen.

Also had a kind of breakthrough in the script and film area of life. I have some ideas for short films which I pitched to a new producer friend this morning. Then later today I literally stumbled on a company called Cinelan (which is based in the US) that collaborates with filmmakers on 3 minute non-fiction pieces.

Can't really go into it with you yet because the info I have is not complete but if you've got story ideas for mini-documentaries, Cinelan might just want to help you make and distribute them on the web. Here's a link that takes you to an info page.

Snag Films, on the other hand, is actively accepting indie documentary films of a more standard length (an average of 90 minutes). You must have had your film accepted into a Film Festival to be considered for online distribution. Here's the link if you're interested. Worth checking out anway!
