TIME MAGAZINE’S NEW PROJECT: RED BORDER FILMS

Building on their success from their short film project Beyond 9/11, Time magazine has launched a new documentary film site called Red Border Films.  As the  New York Times states, “As most print news outlets scramble to find greater profits in a punishing media market by adding more online video content, they  are trying to figure out exactly what kind of video content they want to provide. Do they produce short, television-like broadcasts? Clips from the latest news events? Or do they try something more ambitious?” Time has opted for the more ambitious route.  Each month, Time will present one 10 minute documentary with a news angle which will sometimes tie in with stories appearing in print and will sometimes be “stand alone” pieces.  The first of these films celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. I’m excited for their film venture!
