You're the producer
I personally am not a fan of "fan filmmakers". I am very old school when it comes to my television and movies. I like to watch my entertainment in the way the directors and writers intended it to be seen. I do not like the "spin-off" effect, or the super fan sites, or the fact that some movies have become impossible to follow unless you are a super fan and have all the nitty-gritty details from following their fan sites etc. It is to much work. The point of television and film for me is to kick back and relax while I enter into some one else's world, it is not to make sure I read up on-line or watch the other mini movies before I go see my movie. I hate it. Now as for whether or not I think it is the future of movies is kind of up in the air. Everything and everyone is so tied into the internet these days it would not surprise me if all movies become this way, and are viewed through You Tube and vimeochannels. In my opinion, fan filmmakers are the future of blogging and convergence. They are going to give Hollywood a run for their money and make them push to create the ultimate blockbuster. They are going to help get the word out about movies and what they took back from the movie, it might even help promote the movie. Either way something is definitely brewing in those waters... what the outcome will actually be is up in the air. Times are constantly changing and something bigger and better is always coming along. Fan Filmmakers for now are just challenging Hollywood to put their creative pants on and prove they're the professionals.
