Sujewa at the DIY Filmmaker Blog has whipped up a great list of low budget, independent films that have either been self-distributed, or distributed through innovative new means with the help of smaller companies. Included are Sujewa's own Date Number One, Andrew Bujalski's Mutual Appreciation (dang, I loved this one), Joe's Swanberg's LOL (sorry I missed the NY screening!), Lance Weiler's Head Trauma, Caveh Zahedi's I Am A Sex Addict, and others. Great little list worth checking out. So, which of these have popped up in your city? And is 2006 the start of a New Distro Wave?DIY films: year in review

1. Mutual Appreciation, Kicking Bird, Jumping Off Bridges & of course Date Number One showed up in my city/mtero area: in DC. And the I Am A Sex Addict DVD is available in the local Blockbuster videos (not sure if Sex Addict played in DC theaters, maybe). That's just what I recall seeing, there may have been more DIY & New Distribution films here this year.
