In years past you couldn’t hardly give away short films – there was no market. But video has discovered the internet – or is it the other way around – and suddenly Wall Street is investing big in film on the web. And there are all the internet entrepreneurs checking out the shorties at Sundance. – The Globe and Mail (Canada) 01/26/00
