An affectionate wiki about my "work" includes some remarks I made about internet video several years ago, when my ambitions were more academic than practical.

"The evolution of the spectator's control over his cinematic experience must be taken into account. Web-hosted cinema did not evolve from television or the cinema of the congregated audience; it evolved from the sensibilities of home-format cinema. Like the VCR throughout its history, Web-hosted cinema gives the viewer unprecedented control over his experience, elevating consumption to a sovereign, individualized act--thus the implications of a theory or ethics of spectatorship."

Enthusiastic reviews in Variety and indieWIRE were certainly the pinnacle of the press bonanza which surrounded the premiere of Around the Bay in early March, but there were key sources of support from the hard-to-crack worlds of television and radio, too. I already profusely thanked the CinemaScene guys, but SF360, KMVT and KFJC came through for us as well, assuring that Around the Bay was publicized on airwaves from San Francisco to Santa Cruz.
