Press Pause Play Documentary | Free or Paid You Choose

by Desktop Documentaries

Press Pause Play (2011) is a documentary about the rapidly changing landscape of technology and its impact on creativity and the arts. Anyone with a computer can now create and distribute films, music, art and books -- something that was once reserved for an elite few of professionals.

Is this development good or bad for filmmaking and the art world in general? That's the question posed by Press Pause Play.

Below is the entire documentary being offered for free on Vimeo. Or you may choose to pay for it from iTunes, Amazon or the film's website: presspauseplay.com. This form of distribution where the viewer decides whether or not to pay is a interesting and fascinating debate.
