Larry Lessig’s TEDTalk

Javier Prato — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:29:05 +0000

Here’s Larry Lessig’s TEDTalk on laws that choke creativity. Not only is his talk funny and a bit snarky in a good way, but he’s a champion of ‘recreativity’ who believes that artist choice (e.g., Creative Commons) and the acceptance of read-write culture by businesses are the key to reviving our creative culture. His presentation is also perfectly timed, well delivered, and features a great mix of images and videos, including my video Jesus Will Survive – Jesus Christ! The Musical

I have very exciting news for anyone who is in or outside the film industry who wants to make films. After a long year of preparations we are almost ready to launch this site that will help connect filmmakers and crew in an exciting new way, think of it like match.com for the film industry!

Visit instantcrew.com and leave your info to receive an special invite to join the site absolutely free and be the first ones to join!

Filmmakers can post projects on-line and find crew members for their productions, while crew members can apply for production jobs or receive invitations to apply. Created based on my own experience as an independent producer InstantCrew will be a great tool for filmmakers.
