I was watching my friend Mete’s production company Look Mama‘s show reel (you need to put it online, dudes!).

Thesis Time

So far, I’ve spent the last quarter of my life studying while working full-time, but now it feels that I’ve come to a point where I actually feel the difference.

The Future of video rentals

Although the Internet has already provided a lot of possibilities to the video rental and pay-per-view industries: Electronic Program Guides (EPG), online movie catalogues and information services have helped movie watchers to enjoy more of their cinematic experiences.
