Shaghayegh, This is a very valuable evaluation. I think it offers a lot of tips to others interested in launching similar initiatives. I can easily see how and why filmmakers would want to distinguish themselves from bloggers, especially given the frequently political nature of the Iranian blogosphere. I wonder if it would help to more arts-focused online video sites like Curator for a Day. I absolutely support your idea of partnering with the communication, journalism, and film departments of universities. It would be great if you could talk with some professors about giving presentations about Iran Inside Out and workshops on online video. Keep up the great work and determination.

It be great if you and everyone else would leave comments on the site for the filmmakers. It will really encourage them. Feel free to ask them questions and give feedback…

Good luck with your amazing project Shag ! We all have changed our goals and improvised a lot on the way . Keep it up all the time ! What you are doing is not well understood but step by step they will join you and all the “missing coordinators” will get back to IIO. And don’t forget : the big RV family is here for you, moral support and sharing tips !

Thanks for reading it through. I should clarify perhaps that “video-blogging” is only negative in the eyes of government based organizations because of the political weight that blogging in general can and has taken in the past–and to some filmmakers who dont want to become “bloggers” because they see film as a kind of art form distinct and inseparable from “video-blogging” (which is something to debate about).

But there are alot of bloggers and non-bloggers who find the idea of “video-blogging” interesting and want to be involved.

Thanks for the update and interesting to see how the project has evolved in consideration with factors on the ground in Iran. It is interesting to see how many don’t like to be considered “video bloggers” due to the negative connotation of the word by many.
