Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even if there were no illegal copying, the advent of digital distribution will put a lot of stress on the movie and music industry. When the distribution costs comes down, that puts more price pressure on the rest of the cost.
Film and the other creative industries are being transformed by digital technologies.
I think digital will displace film, yes. We're talking about digital as a thing of the future, but I'm afraid that it's here.
Because of the way tech is changing, and becoming cheaper and user-friendly, it's becoming easier to make films cheaply, maintaining quality.
It's never easy getting an independent film made and distributed - even when it's easy.
I think we are at the very beginning of high changes, not only in terms of digital film, but in the way the movies will be screened, whether they'll be screened on phones, on computers - on everything.
There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.
I think digital is getting so much better. It's harder and harder to make the argument now for film. All things being equal, though, I still prefer to capture on film.
Ironically, it's easier to raise the money to make the film than it is to have the film find wide distribution.
I'm sure some people will say, 'Why do this?' And my response is, 'Why wouldn't you?' The film business in general is using a model that is outdated and, worse than that, inefficient.
