Some more notes from DIY Day Boston

David Tamés posts some of his photos and notes from last weekend's DIY Day event in Boston. It includes coverage of the opening chat with digital media investor (and indie film producer) Todd Dagres...a presentation on virality called 'If It Doesn't Spread, It's Dead'...and a talk by Slava Rubin on crowd-funding of indie film.

Lots more multimedia about 'Inventing the Movies'

This was a big week for stuff related to Inventing the Movies showing up online...including:

• Video interview with David Tamés of Kino-Eye.com.
  
• Podcast with Susan Heilman of the Museum of Science in Boston, where I'll be giving a talk on November 12th.
  
• A review of the book by software entrepreneur Doug Levin, founder of Black Duck Software
  
• Interview with Andy Plesser of Blip.tv, which talks both about the book and The Conversation, a conference I'm involved with that takes place October 17th and 18th in the SF Bay Area. (Embedded below.)
  

This Weekend: Woods Hole Film Festival

I had the pleasure of lunching today with filmmaker/techie David Tamés, who has been doing some shooting of late on the Ray Kurzweil documentary 'The Singularity is Near.' David has a great blog called Kino-Eye.com, and also maintains a list of events that would surely be of interest to CinemaTech readers in the Boston area.

And if you happen to be headed to Cape Cod this weekend, David has organized three really cool panels at the Woods Hole Film Festival:

- The future of long-form documentary in the age of Internet video
- Delivering Video via the Internet: Challenges and Opportunities, and
- Media Literacy in the 21st Century

Not only that, but one of David's short films, 'Smile Boston Project,' is screening at the fest next Saturday.
