You and I both. I've loved watching the independent creators starting to bubble up to the mainstream surface. If you know where to look, the new entertainment renaissance is about to begin. Not just in the film industry either; the publishing industry (both books and comics) and the music industry are getting knocked on their butts by indie creators and unconventional outlets being used as a medium to get their works out.
I know everyone here knocks on YouTube and for good reason, but it's a great start in finding film makers and creatives who are leading the way through the forest right now. Same with Amazon Kindle U - the self-publishing aspect has allowed people who wouldn't get a chance with a "bona fide" publisher to get their writing out there. It's pretty cool to see it happening organically.
