Convicto on Brightcove

Here I am playing with Brightcove's Pay Media feature...it allows content owners to protect WMV files and monetize them as pay downloads or rentals. It is a very easy way to monetize. One can even add banner ads to the player to have additional monetization through traditional banner ads. Payment is handled by Brightcove and disbursed to the content owners via PayPal. Easy ...nifty...I still don't like the asset/title/lineup paradigm in Brightcove but I assume large content owners find it useful.

Convicto

In the early '90s, I tried my hand at making some short films. Amateurish stuff really but a tremendous experience both in the complexity of creating stories as well as producing them. I made many mistake but definitely learned a lot -- from using the Bolex 16mm cameras to editing on flatbed editing stations -- all rendered obsolete by this all digital world.

Presented here for the first time, my first short - Convicto -- inspired by the death penalty sentence given to Robert Alton Harris, the first death penalty in California in about 25 years.
