Audience Building (Again)

James Riley — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:33:59 +0000

I’ve pondered this outloud on a few occasions (here, here, here and here) for our loyal followers, and my own benefit, but the task ahead of us at Colony Bay will be to build an audience quickly. We don’t need a mega-audience, just a steady, blog-and-video-watching crowd of about two or three hundred thousand people. Yes, we continue […]

Story-boarding Courage

James Riley — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 19:38:10 +0000

Frame by Frame We’re heading down the stretch to principle photography for episode 2 of Courage, New Hampshire — “The Sons of Liberty.” Yesterday, we spent the better part of the day story-boarding the first week of shooting and it reminds me of a confession a big studio director once made about a major Pixar animation film. […]

Starring Scarlett something or other…

I talked to a guy in Michigan yesterday who was so excited about selling our movie, he wants to take it out and sell it to his church, his school, and even his neighborhood. He bought 30 copies of the DVD in our July deal, (a case of 30 for $99). He did not, however, start […]

A Year Making It, A Year Yelling About It

James Riley — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 16:42:14 +0000

Yesterday (and this morning) have been sort of hopping on the distribution front. We have a European network interested. (They all speak English over there, unlike here in the states) Ben Shapiro, the guy who was the youngest syndicated columnist in America at age 16 and who graduated from Harvard Law at 23 years old, […]

Thinking Outloud about Distribution Again

James Riley — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:15:50 +0000

Next week, we’ll have a few meetings with “channel” distributors so I’m just writing this all down to see if I understand it: the distribution of an entertainment product, in one sense, is not that different from any other kind of distribution. If you manufacture one product, let’s say it’s a hair brush (a really great […]

Distribution

James Riley — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 20:31:26 +0000

What a week — lots of DVDs loaded up in big postal containers, a media storm from both friendly and hostile voices, and a lot of talk, by everyone about something called “distribution.” Well, we’re happy to say we’re talking to lots of heavy-weights on that front and there is a possibility “Courage” could end […]

Salesmen in Black French Berets(Distribution is Art)

James Riley — Thu, 19 May 2011 21:26:39 +0000

I have a humiliating confession to make. I actually allowed myself to watch the first twenty minutes of Hot Tub Time Machine. As bad movies go, it’s even worse than Cutthroat Island, which at least had art direction and tall ships going for it. I guess I expected at least a moment of humanity from John Cusack, […]
