Recent Headlines

Help find links and videos for the feature length edit:

To help find videos, blogs and articles that can be used for research and inclusion in this collaborative documentary, just use delicious to tag a URL with “net neutrality resource” and then it will show up below. If you don’t understand what I mean by tag and delicious, then watch this video that breaks it down very simply.

Help sort through the links and videos:

If you add the above Net Neutrality bookmarks feed to your feed reader and regularly look at new posts and then use delicious to bookmark and write a short comment about the article that was linked to and how it could related to the documentary and add the tags net neutrality resource and also add helpful tags like “video” or “mainstream press” or “personal story” or “comcast” or anything else that is helpful. We will be using delicious to see how many times a video has been bookmarked as well as reading all of the descriptions of the articles to get ideas for the relevance of each development around the net neutrality issue for the documentary.

DVD of this 10 minute version:

There are two ways to get a DVD of the 10 minute version of “Humanity Lobotomy”. One way is to download this .IMG file (which Cachefly.com is graciously hosting for free). Then you can burn the .img file to a DVD-R and it should work on most DVD players. The other way is to buy a copy of the Four Eyed Monsters DVD. You’ll get our film, “Four Eyed Monsters” which is the first feature film uploaded to YouTube as well as episodes 1 through 8 of our free online video podcast and of course we’ve included this video “Humanity Lobotomy” along with a video blog that was posted the night I discovered the issue of Net Neutrality.

Publicize:

Net Neutrality needs all the publicity it can get because major media companies, surprise, don’t want to make it a big story. So blog about it, call your local newspaper, if you work in media get your editor to let you do something huge about it and feel free to contact us at anytime for our input or to get quote on why net neutrality is important to us as independent filmmakers who use the internet to distribute our work.
