The Democratization Of Culture: PressPausePlay

from the talking-about-culture dept

Nearly two years ago, while at a conference in Norway, I sat down with some folks putting together a documentary called PressPausePlay, which is all about the democratization of culture, and the views many people have — positive, negative, indifferent, weird, etc. — on that changing landscape. It’s taken a couple years, but the movie is finally out (I got to see a version earlier this year at SXSW), and with it, the filmmakers are releasing longer versions of all of the interviews they did on YouTube — including mine, which you can see below:

Even if it’s two years old, and slightly out of date, I still think the discussion is pretty relevant — though, the whole section on Jill Sobule may seem a bit quaint with the success of platforms like Kickstarter. Anyway, there are a ton of other videos worth checking out as well, and I’m embedding a few of them after the jump (i.e., if you’re in RSS or on the front page, you’ll need to click through to see them).
