How are the Coen brothers involved in 60Frames?
Brett Weinstein: The Coen Brothers will be creating original content for 60Frames, and are also on creative advisory board we’re putting together. What effect is the Internet having on traditional Hollywood business–it seems like up to now it’s still mostly been side projects for most artists–do they take the Internet seriously? Brett Weinstein: I think at the end of the day, most artists are also consumers. They’re fans of the medium, which extends beyond film and TV to the Internet. There’s a group of artists being very aggressive and entrepreneurial for the the Internet. There’s a whole different group that has seen what has been created, and it has inspired them. They want to do it themselves. But, they want to do it in environment that is artist friendly, fair, and where they get participation they deserve. There’s a strong sentiment that if that an entity could be built which did that, they would respond.
