		<title>Oscar Thoughts 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time for my annual thoughts on the Oscars.  I don’t make many predictions, I mainly write what I think about the various categories.   
Short Animated Film
Nothing wrong with the other entries, but — Wallace and Gromit!  Nick Park deserves to win it.  It is, however, a crying shame that Peter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been very busy writing on three different projects (though one has pushed the other two aside recently as it has deadlines), and working like crazy on a big project at work, so I haven’t been blogging much, but I have some news:

		<title>New Methods Of Distribution, Or Decimation?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet is a sword that cuts both ways for content creators, be it filmmakers or other kinds of artists.  While there is a lot of possibility in the medium, it has been notoriously difficult to turn a profit via online distribution.  There are three main reasons for this:

		<title>NoLo Shooters’ Holiday Wishlist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some last-minute Holiday shopping ideas for the No Budget / Low Budget (NoLo) filmmaker in your life.  Glancing at the prices, one thing you’ll notice is that even at the low end, quality filmmaking isn’t really a “no-budget” proposition.

		<title>Notes on Notes, pt. 4: Who to ask for notes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is mainly for independent writers and directors.  If you’re working for someone on a project, it’s usually quite obvious who you should ask for notes (and if it isn’t, ask the director or producer).  Independents, on the other hand, may have a very hard time finding people to give them a “fresh set [...]]]></description>

		<title>Notes on Notes, pt. 3: How to give notes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Part of being in the industry is giving notes as well as getting them.  If you’re a screenwriter, you’re going to wind up trading notes with other writers whose feedback you want on your own work (especially early on).  If you’re a producer or director, giving notes is pretty much your entire job description during [...]]]></description>
