Eugene Martin blogs about his film, The Bloodlines Video Diary Project

May 12, 2008

I’m starting a blog that will document and discuss the journey of screening and releasing my documentary film, The Bloodlines Video Diary Project.  I started this website as I was completing the film.  We just had our premeire at the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema.  We had two very full screenings, and the two young diarists and subjects of the film, Dennis and Ebony, were there to present the film.

In a new direction from previous films I have made, which ran a traditional route of film festival screenings then limited theatrical and video releases, I have decided to pursue the internet and the exciting possiblities new media releasing can offer a film like Bloodlines.  Young audiences (and some older ones too!) are connecting to films, tv shows, and music first through their social networking and on-line communities.  With this in mind, I am preparing to document over the next year the process of taking out Bloodlines via the on-line world.  Along the way I will share stories, experiences, and lessons learned along the way.
