<BODY>
<DIV>It's been an eventful month. First up, the traditional film community
publicly recognised the value of what we've been doing with Sanctuary and other
remixable projects by honouring me with a Sydney Film Festival prize, the
inaugural Peter Rasmussen Innovation Award <A
href="http://modfilms.com/archives/20090615_press_release_.html"></A>(citing
Sanctuary)! </DIV>
<DIV>
<P>Then I got to attend the <A href="http://openvideoconference.org/">Open Video
Conference (OVC)</A> in NYC. You can read <A
href="http://thequality.com/people/michela/weblog/archives/002830.html">my
conference report</A>. </P>
<P>Frustrating as it is to not have the resources to simply complete and release
Sanctuary, reality bites. The key learnings I've brought back from the OVC
are:</P>
<P>1) Staged delivery - the need to keep releasing is paramount. <BR>2)
Collectivism - for remixable films to develop, the community needs more
resources. </P>
<P>It is due to the invaluable input and support of remixable media community
members over many years that we have got the project to the stage it has
reached. Now I see the need to start releasing material regardless of the fact a
finished cut has not yet been produced. So I invite discussion on how best to
release the Sanctuary asset library and pipeline tools as they stand. I plan to
release them by 14 July, so comments before then would be appreciated.</P>
<P>I still intend to finish my cut but it's time to take that milestone off the
critical path for the project.</P>
<P>So without further ado, I'm hereby opening up this rather old-fashioned
looking blog to the public...</P>
