Beating a dead horse.
To keep on the subject of making your own films and finding your own audience…
Our colleague Dan Meth put up a blog post about his film Hebrew Crunk just about one month ago. The cartoon had 71,000 views in less than a day, over 400,000 in five days. Now its gotten over 600,000.
Dan did the picture for a commercial client, but they wanted his vision; it might as well have been a personal film. However, he picked the venue, and now over 500 people have subscribed to his ‘channel.’ Dan Meth is now a rising star. And it’s completely from his own energy, creativity, and hard work. He didn’t let anyone get in his way. Not his client, not a network, and certainly, not even me. He’s in control of his own destiny.
PS: I don’t usually get so many comments on my posts as I have with this ‘make your own films’ thing. My posts must stay out of controversial (or maybe ‘interesting’) areas. What do you expect from an old guy running the company?
