We have tried to design a site that reflects Next Wave and the alternative universe of filmmaking in which we work. Next Wave Films was established to support emerging filmmakers. While we can only furnish financing to a limited number of filmmakers, we provide information to many independent filmmakers through phone calls, e-mail, articles, and public presentations. The website gives us a great opportunity to make useful information available to filmmakers around the world. The site is designed to make as much practical information easily accesible as possible.
Information is power.
For many independent filmmakers information is more important than money. The new model of production they presented empowered many independents to make features. Today information about DV production is catalyzing a new digital feature movement. The August 1998 MovieMaker Magazine Cover story highlighted the digital revolution. We hope the content of our site will help free filmmakers from the belief that they must have the permission, approval, or resources of 3rd parties to make their films.
