Why kintespace.com Exists
Daniel Terdiman and company at Wired.com, in “Video Shills for Literary Stars,” writes:
With the advent of services like VidLit, which produces short, humorous, animated Flash films about books, authors have a new way to reach online readers. Because of the viral quality of online videos, some writers are finding success at the end of the broadband pipe.
The story also goes on to explain that some of these promotions cost up to $3,500/minute to produce. Here at kintespace.com, writers like Jaha Zainabu and visual artists like Michael Massenburg paid nothing for their multimedia broadband presence. And in spite of these relatively huge sums being thrown about, I will still keep on keeping on with the original idea behind kintespace.com with a view to celebrate talent that may otherwise go unnoticed. What I have learned along the way is that many of these creative folk are underrepresented because of choices they make instead of an outside force imposing upon them.
Bertice Berry is not one of these folk. Her four-minute Flash presentation at VidLit.com is nothing like what we currently have here at kintespace.com. This promotion of her book When Love Calls, You Better Answer is very entertaining. I want to see this multimedia market to explode to a size that is too big for a small cartel of established entertainment companies to dominate and strangle to death. There should be enough work for all of us.
