Foreword
Picture 4kurt sutter Picture 5
@sutterink
Digital delivery of film and television, like most hasty births, has been clumsy, painful, and at times bloody.
Picture 6kurt sutter Picture 7
@sutterink
But once the schmutz is wiped off, the cord cut, and the babys mouth wrapped around a teat, one can appreciate and marvel at the new life.
Picture 8kurt sutter Picture 9
@sutterink
I know being a male and a failed gentile, I have no right using childbirth as a metaphor or the word schmutz in a sentence.
Picture 10kurt sutter Picture 11
@sutterink
But curbing impulsesnot necessarily my strong suit. Like the digital new age, I can be entertaining, unpredictable, and a bit scary.
Picture 12kurt sutter Picture 13
@sutterink
I believe DD is the future of film/TV. In the not-too-distant yet-to-come, there wont be programming, just content & distribution. And porn.
Picture 14kurt sutter Picture 15
@sutterink
And like all things that change an industry, with great power comes the need for thoughtful reflection, fiscal and ethical responsibility.
Picture 16kurt sutter Picture 17
@sutterink
But this is Hollywood, so with great power usually just comes a better table at Toscana. Responsibility and ethics are for the S&P folks.
Picture 18kurt sutter Picture 19
@sutterink
Perhaps thats a bit jaded. But the truth is, fear is always the first response to change. No one knows how DD will look in 2, 5, 10 years.
Picture 20kurt sutter Picture 21
@sutterink
We speculate, create, react, adjust. Thats the equation at play now: forecasts + $$$ = startups + consumer whims + regulation = confusion.
Picture 22kurt sutter Picture 23
@sutterink
Distribution Revolution helps make sense of the mayhem. All we can do is keep the discussion going. Thats what these professionals do.
Picture 24kurt sutter Picture 25
@sutterink
From the studio to the lab, this book takes a thorough look at the incestuous and inevitable relationship between tech and entertainment.
Picture 26kurt sutter Picture 27
@sutterink
So, buy the book and read it, bitches.
