This is where all of you as filmmakers can get in front of 850 million and there is no-one who can stop you from getting that content up…  And filmmakers that do that old model of ‘I’m going to make my short and I’m running around to film festivals,’… it seems crazy to me that anyone’s doing that any more.
-Allen DeBevoise, Chairman and CEO, Machinima, Inc.

The [web] audience is ginormous, and I think it means incredible things for [independent filmmakers]. Only if you wake up.
