The site, in 1996

A site covering the film business and film criticism, which began as a free daily email on independent film.

Its readership passed 6,000 by late 1997. At Sundance it printed daily papers in black and white, beating Variety and The Hollywood Reporter to stories. Penske Media bought it in 2016.

In 1996: Launched on 15 July as a free daily email, sent to a few hundred subscribers by five New York and Los Angeles filmmakers and writers.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
