hey folks!

was just asked to screen my flix for free at a non-profit art space, for a month ...
cool space, exposure &c, no problems there - but they can't afford even a symbolic fee of $100

which has got me thinking ... how has it become acceptable to programme films without budgeting to pay their makers? happens to me a lot, don't think I'm alone in it (?)

maybe we need a bit of collective bargaining going on ...
any thoughts?
cheers Moira
