NEWS & VIEWS
- It looks like a cut of the documentary Adventures Into Digital Comics was shown at the Tel Aviv Film Festival and nominated for Best Documentary there. Has anyone seen this thing yet? They started shooting it before Comixpedia launched (pre-2003) and as far as I can tell from their site and teh internets it's not available to the public yet. The producers state that they began providing private screenings this year (2006) but as they're in California it's not an option for me for geographic reasons. (I'm trying to track down emails for them to ask for a DVD or VHS version but without luck so far. There's always snail mail I guess.)
- Heidi McDonald posts an overview of people looking at comics and the long tail. It seems to be in the air – Joey Manley also recently posted about the prospects for future growth in comics online, starting with setting webcomics' sites higher than print comics itself.
