The slow-budget approach offers various advantages such as complete independence from production companies and institutions, in particular independence from TV and its commissioning editors, and independence from distributors and public funding. The concept allowed us to find our way into cinemas and lecture halls. We did get neither public support nor funding but we also did not give away any rights. That's an enormous advantage in a landscape where mainly technically driven paradigm shifts offer new opportunities. With digital projection the number of competing film formats has risen. For filmmakers who are able to convert content themselves, new opportunities pop up. We are in the middle of a rapidly changing landscape. Traditional biospheres such as public TV and public film funding are under huge pressure. Publicly subsidized TV may disappear completely and will be reorganized dramatically, competing channels will diversify while at the same time transmission and delivery formats become more complex. Uncertain times and rapidly changing general conditions are good for the risk takers!
