From Digital New York

Film director and writer New Zealander Anna Wilding writes on ‘Digital Hollywood and the Role of Content Creators’ for Herald de Paris. Having attended the recent Digital Hollywood Media Summit in New York, Wilding says: “The craftsmanship, skill and talent that was revered in Hollywood, even as late as five years ago, is now not so revered or appreciated in the new media age … In fact the art of writers, producers, directors, still photographers, and artists (or ‘content creators’ as we are now ubiquitously called), has become somewhat devalued in this age” She asks: “If investment companies and banks say film is high risk, then how can they say that over-valued Internet companies are less so?” Wilding is the founder of Carpe Diem Films.
