I’ve been looking for this film for a few months until I found out that it was up on Vimeo through a few people I follow on Twitter. Here’s the description of “PressPausePlay” from The House Of Radon’s Vimeo page:
The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.
But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era. http://presspauseplay.com @presspauseplay on Twitter.
