LAS VEGAS--Director Doug Liman (Swinger's, The Bourne Identity) believes the quality of content on the Internet does not live up to expectations, and I have to agree with him. There have been some interesting experiments with the format, like the "lonelygirl" series. But as I have never tuned in to that particular program I can't talk about its strengths or weaknesses.
What we have not seen is the application of great storytelling to the web released film or serial. Sure all the major networks stream their content via the Internet, but what about the independent filmaker really utilizing the power of this free (or at least relatively inexpensive) distribution channel called the web? Why am I writing this, I've got the web film of the century to work on...peace.
