Summary: Why should documentary filmmakers care about pod-casting, video i-pods, mobile phone content delivery, VOD, broadband, cross-platform distribution? Are digital distribution technologies opening up new audiences, new sources of production funding? Or simply asking media artists to provide more versions of their content for the same--or less--amount of money?

MacArthur Foundation.
