Focusing on the ways in which modes of production, distribution, and exhibition are shifting with the advent of online streaming, simultaneous release strategies, and web series, this book analyzes sites such as SundanceTV, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and other online spaces as a means of redefining independent cinema in a digital era. Analyzing the intersections among cinema studies, cultural studies, and new media studies within contemporary convergence culture, author Sarah E.S. Sinwell looks at sites of media convergence that are often ignored within most studies of digital media. Emphasizing the ways in which the forms and technologies of media culture have changed during the age of convergence, this book analyzes contemporary production, distribution, and exhibition practices as a means of examining the changing meanings of independent cinema within digital culture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Indie Via Instant Viewing: Now Streaming on Netflix and Hulu\u003cbr\u003e 2  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Simultaneous Release Strategies: Soderbergh and the Screening Room\u003cbr\u003e 3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e DIY Distribution: YouTube, \u003ci\u003eFour Eyed Monsters,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGirl Walks Into A Bar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Fourth Screen: Sundance, Shorts, and Cell Phones\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e About the Author\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Mediagraphy\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739854172440,"sku":"9781978814691","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/indie-cinema-online-paperback-softback-9781978814691","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
