indieWIRE digs GreenCine and GreenCine Daily

Check the GreenCine noise at indieWIRE -- LOOKING BACK AT '05: The Year of the (Film) Blogs, With More To Come.

One excerpt:

Lively, intelligent blogs that feature frequently updated, conversational postings about cinema -- as opposed to celebrity gossip -- are flowering. They're trying to create an interlinked community devoted to those passionately interested in film, similar to what the pioneering urban art houses of the 1950s and 1960s did. And if they haven't yet reached the point where they have a measured impact on box office, they're trying.

These blogs include, but certainly aren't limited to, film critic and writer Dave Kehr's new blog, online film journal Reverse Shot's Reverse Blog, S.T. VanAirsdale's The Reeler, the Twitch blog, MovieCityNews' MovieCityIndie blog, and GreenCine's Green Cine Daily.

And our David Hudson was quoted as such:

"For the indies, blogs can potentially be much more important for any given film for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that other forms of publicity are relatively so much more expensive yet not necessarily more effective and certainly not as 'targeted'," said Green Cine Daily's David Hudson, in an E-mail.

"When an indie production has a particularly intriguing or creative personality involved, getting them online and blogging can arouse not just a certain level of buzz but also, if something sparks between them and their readers, a whole core of evangelists for that particular film."
