Who Wants To Make A Movie?

Posted in Career, Contests, Filmmaking, Short Film on January 28th, 2009 by William Speruzzi

There are currently three film contests that I think some of you might want to check out [this isn't an endorsement, just posting notice.] With so many competitions out there why am I pulling these from the pile? The money. The prizes are a pretty impressive combination of cash and services. Take a look at all three and decide for yourself but don’t wait too long. Deadlines are approaching.

Roku

Posted in Gadgetry on July 10th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

roku I finally got around to setting up my new Roku. It’s a downloadable delivery device for Netflix members and I have to say, it’s pretty f’in nice. So simple to set-up it’s stupid. If you have an existing qualifying Netflix account you can download content for no additional cost. There is a limit to what is available now [10,000 titles and not the greatest seletion] but for $99 this is a simple and effective way to kick off the digital download revolution. In a year they will probably launch a slicker, more feature heavy version to stay competitive but for now I would say this is the shit. Supposedly Roku recently sold out all their units [?] and are now on backorder. Either way, a very cool little addition to your set-up.

Update: Thank you XBOX [sigh.]
