I was really excited to learn of Australian-based filmmaker Rhys Graham's blog The Bouy Archives. It is simple but great (maybe it is great in part because it is simple). Beautiful photographs. Great quotes. Passionate discussions on the work he admires. And refreshingly free of business chatter. It makes me want to see his films -- and isn't that the goal?
I got to read and consult on Rhys' project "The Warmth" at Aurora Script Conference this spring. It's going to be a good movie. I had no hesitation "following" this blog. I suggest you do too. I am going to follow it right into the theater.

But how would you know of his blog if you hadn't consulted on his project?
The way we learn about things is curating for others, filtering, finding, sourcing, telling. I do this blog so you will know. I twitter so you will know. I hold screening series so you will know. Hell, I make movies so you will know. I guess I talk to my friends so they will know.
I feel it is our responsibility to spread what we like.
I find most of the stuff I like by other people's recommendation.
I did consult on Rhys' project but that just spread up the process. Eventually good work finds its audience, and audiences find good work. We can all help speed up the process.
Tell us what you like, whoever you are anonymous2.
Thanks for answering Ted and turning me on to Rhys blog. Don't get me wrong I think its a great blog that I will definetly make a part of my daily internet reads, like this one and H2N, but I'm interested (and overwhelmed?) in how to create an audience for a website.
To share something I like, if you haven't seen this site, they make some beautiful videos with great performances of some bands you may have heard of and others you will want to hear more from.
