		<description><![CDATA[I think your article should be titled, &#039;Shortening the distance between imagination and Funding&#039;

The distance between imagination and media has shortened significantly in the last few years but has always been short by those with enough money to get it.   Now, the wealth of the masses is accessible.  No need to go begging to big studios or break into inner circles to start your project and get it off the ground.

Kickstarter has become the proving ground for ideas and concepts.  If it doesn&#039;t get funded, go back to the drawing board.

You ask about the future?  The future will convert large studio houses like Paramount, Fox, and Universal into large distribution houses that assist small independent artists to distribute their works while getting a piece of the pie.  It will be an Amazon of media giving anyone with 40 thousand TV channels the ability to watch whatever, whenever and by whom ever, but not only that, dynamic printing and physical rendering of merchandise and manufacturing where the artist will have their choice of distribution package 1, 2 or 3.

Large warehouses will store and distribute Jack and Jane&#039;s latest work tailored to the individual who will take these keepsakes and find happiness and joy that they can identify with the work of an independent artist.
