Tuesday is another brick in the changing landscape of digital communication. Cult Classics, LLC. launches it’s “Cult of Sincerity” film and releases the entire thing…. yes the whole thing to YouTube.com (Check it out here)
The trailer is fun, professional and well done. Personally I hope this is a sign of more things to come. Can you picture just trolling the web and finding the films that are big at Sundance, Tribecam etc right after the festival wraps? Now as for the financial model – as far as i can tell.. there isn’t one. I’m sure they’ll sell merch (which I’m ordering, it’ll go well with my Chad Vader collection.. no seriously) and then they’ve got options for you to buy the film for download (it’s just 3 bucks, courtesy of AmieStreet.com). This is a HUGE risk and have to applaud it. I think the guys releasing this are taking a great leap and that takes cajones (ie: stones). So what’s the angle? Creating content for digital dwellers is noble, no question. But what a great way to show the world their skills. I’m sure they are taking orders for their next project right now.

My brother Joe has been shooting photos professionally for the past few years but at the beginning of the summer he took the giant leap to make photography his profession. His work is fantastic and whether it’s orphans in Uganda or your wedding day – he’s got the digital chops to capture your event just right. His website launched today so you can see for yourself what kind of work he does.
I just finished up the bulk of the heavy lifting on a site for the Young Professionals of Central Virginia. In addition to working with YPCV on the site, I’ve been getting more involved with their “Connect” initiatives as a way to get others 20-30 somethings informed about what’s happening and getting us all linked together. I think this organization is more than overdue for this area and I’m thrilled that Region 2000 and The Regional Chamber of Commerce have been behind the scenes putting this group together.

“Dan, you are so not a good Oreo priest!” – Shelley Scranton
(Said after I was holding a package of Oreo’s and imitating the singing of Catholic Priests and then brought the package to the wrong place)
