I'm not a full-time web author or service provider.  My main professional interest continues to be design and scenery production.  But I am interested in helping local people in the film business to create their own spaces on the web and become a part of an informal connection system that may help them promote their interests and get more business.

While I basically recommend that people set up their own accounts with service providers and, to the extent that they can, maintain their own websites.  I realize that there are some who would prefer to job all or part of that work out to others.

As witnessed by these pages, I do a certain amount of very basic authorship myself. I enjoy creating simple pages that load fast with minimal hype and hysteria, especially if the content is related to local film production.  (The film community is a little like a small town within the larger metropolis, and I enjoy finding a kind of small-town life within the larger city.)

Please feel free to send e-mail to: jviii@panix.com if you think you need some help in deciding how to find a place for yourself online.
