We are drowning in content. With the arrival of high quality low cost digital acquisition, we see shooting ratios exploding. With interactive post and finishing, we see alternative versions proliferating. And with new distribution channels, we see final deliverables multiplying. All the while, post production schedules get shorter and budgets get smaller. We need new tools to help us find, identify, access and manage this material. So instead of drowning, we can have it all, and we can have it NOW.
