Not Embedded in traditional distribution: Tim Robbins
Tim Robbins is finding new ways to get his work in consumers' hands, telling the LA Times' Elaine Dutka about Netflix distribbing the DVD of Embedded: "Was the play great? I have no idea," Robbins said. "But the experience was electric and important to audiences, and I wanted to document that moment. I knew this wouldn't be a slam dunk, but fortunately the landscape is shifting. Netflix, with its sophisticated database, is an important piece of the puzzle... I have faith in the system and I work in it... I'm not the person who will decry it. No matter what the right wing says, Hollywood is run on profit, not politics—like any business. It's too simplistic a world view to say that Hollywood does anything in lock step. At the same time, I'm aware that certain product is more suitable for alternative delivery systems and I'm trying to tap into that."
