The East filmmakers Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij talk to R. Kurt Osenlund of Filmmaker Magazine about the importance of collaboration and of surrounding yourself with a strong creative support system. Says Marling, "If you wanted it to be yours, you’d write a novel. Because that would be yours.

Anita Doren on the Guts and Vision it Takes to Make a Debut Feature Film
Filmmaker Anita Doron talks to Karen Eng of TED blog about her first feature film The Lesser Blessed. She says of directing her debut, "I'd worked with big crews on music videos and on short films and I was comfortable with that. When you know what you want, and you understand how to get it — a tiny crew or 60 people makes no difference — you get to the film you want to make. Every project brings its own chaos and challenges. So what you’re used to is knowing that there will be chaos and insanity and challenges, and knowing that you have to be unwavering with your vision but still flexible and able to think in the moment, and never show any weakness or doubt. However much you’re freaking out inside and wondering if this is the right decision or what’s going to happen, you cannot show it." Read the full story here.

The Benefits of Looking Up
Working on Digital Video magazine and the conferences for Digital Video Expo, I know I'm distracting you from your work (Read this! Watch that! Go here!), but I promise, it's for your own good. Sometimes you need to look up from your monitor or viewfinder and read an article or join a conversation or attend a conference. Looking up expands your knowledge, refines your skills and connects you with your community--so consider investing some time to learn about new technologies, hear about new applications and try out some new tools.
