Here is our pres standing shoulder to shoulder with some of Hollywood’s heavyweights at the Tribeca Film Festival in May. Steven Soderbergh, Todd Wagner, Jane Rosenthal (who co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival along with Robert DeNiro), Dean Garfield of the MPAA and Georg Szalai of The Hollywood Reporter. As much as I would like to say that right after this cordial photo was taken an outright brawl ensued in the green room between opposing parties… no such luck drama. No fisticuffs were had that night… only a healthy, lively discussion about the state of digital video distribution and how it’s shaking up the tried-and-true Hollywood release windows. If I can get my way, these folks will be back at the same table at Tribeca 2007 looking back on a watershed year for distribution of video on the Internet. Whether we make it out unscathed next time is a whole other issue.
