You are not the only one struggling. Everyone is. And we can do something about it. But first you've got to get mad.
Post a video or tweet saying, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more." Put @openindie and we'll find it and make a mash up of screen grabs and video clips. Actually do it. It will feel good. You'll feel better about what a panel of indie film experts at the Moma recently declared an indie film crisis.
Once you've gotten mad, donate to OpenIndie here
Then blog about it.
Here is the video that explains what OpenIndie is.
Below is the text from the end of the above video incase you want to quote it for a blog post, re-read or fact check (links included):
Ted Hope, producer of Thumbsucker & many other films donated $100 to help build OpenIndie.
3,666 feature films were submitted to Sundance last year and only 178 got in. Source.
Lance Weiler, founder of the Workbook Project, self distributed his two films,The Last Broadcast & Head Trauma & has donated $100
towards building OpenIndie.
Only 10 films found distribution at Sundance 2009. Article
Ondi Timoner, filmmaker of Digg & Join Us donated $100 to sign up her new film
We Live in Public on OpenIndie.
In 2008 Mark Gill declared the sky is falling on independent film. Article
Ira Deutchman manages a network of 65 digital theaters & donated $100 to help build OpenIndie.
The Independent Film Channel licensed Four Eyed Monsters but then failed to release it &
didn't pay until the filmmakers settled out of court for a third of the original deal.

Arin Crumley, co-director of Four Eyed Monsters has now co-founded OpenIndie & will use it to distribute his upcoming feature film at the same time as it's festival premiere.

.. If you are in london on october 22nd and 23rd come visit Power To the Pixel to see our presentation for From Here to Awesome and our sneak peak of the rough cut of the trailer to As The Dust Settles. We'll be presenting to a room full of potential investors, sponsors and TV channels that could potentially bring the film to the next level with their support.
A video of the presentation will eventually be posted online as well.
So for now, I'm editing away in becket MA and shooting a little additional material in NYC. If anyone has a RED camera during october or november in NYC? Anyone want to be a production assistant, boom operator or production assistant for As The Dust Settles?
Also does anyone have any footage or a well documented personal experience or an edited segment they would like to contribute to As The Dust Settles?
If so to any of the above, email ASTHEDUSTSETTLES (at) G M A I L (dot) C O M
Or, does anyone want to be part of the test audience for the film and see a rough cut of the film online and in nyc or la early and provide feedback and see this rough edit of the trailer via secret link before anyone else does?
For that go to: http://indiegogo.com/asthedust and click (fund) and you can join the team. Comments on the editing workflow described above, feel free to leave thoughts below:

.. Coming back from Burning Man and re-introducing myself to society has been hard. Kind of depressing. The real world is so slow. Connections formed on the playa don't have permission to grow anymore. Watching Hurricane Ike on the plane pretty much summed it all up. It's the end of the world. Or at least it feels like it. Maybe this slow life will eventually catch up with the acceleration I experienced out there. How long is that going to take? Help me here, what do you guys think? http://arincrumley.com/ http://asthedustsettles.com/

.. Oh my jesus! We are leaving in the morning to drive 10 hours to the desert and start this film! It was all too much earlier today and I did this video just after I started to feel a weird cough coming up in my chest and took a break. I think I avoided getting sick by taking a break. I'll have to remember that out there. Okay, off to finish packing, get everyone situated with their cameras and then to get some sleep. http://arincrumley.com http://asthedustsettles.com
