Our friend Mynette Louie, producer of the wonderful indie film Children of Invention, has a great interview in indieWIRE about innovations in indie film distribution -- because, frankly, the old model isn't really cutting it anymore: FUTURES: "Children of Invention" Producer Mynette Louie.
Mynette's a smart, saavy producer who up-and-coming filmmakers could learn a thing or two from. Among her upcoming projects as a producer, she's currently finishing P. Benoit's Untitled Haiti Project (with Karin Chien and Ben Howe), and is developing Eric Lin's Why We Pull the Trigger and Tze Chun's You're a Big Girl Now.
Oh, while I'm at it, I should mention that Children of Invention is opening this weekend at the Vancity Theatre in Vancouver. The rest of you can get your super awesome Deluxe Collector's Edition DVD of Children of Invention here.
