Kaplak grew out of [[Crewscut.com]], a [[wiki]] dedicated to working with and presenting cultural and media projects. In short, we needed a financial model as well as a p2p model for sharing large files (GB's of data). | Kaplak grew out of [[Crewscut.com]], a [[wiki]] dedicated to working with and presenting cultural and media projects. In short, we needed a financial model as well as a p2p model for sharing large files (GB's of data). We found no immediate platform which could help us, so in 2007 I decided to found a new company, dedicated to these problems, not just for Crewscut.com, but for other niche producers and online platforms as well. | ||
For many years, I've tried to build a professional life as a filmmaker and media producer, but for every project, I reached a distribution bottleneck or editorial filters, which were in the way. Increasingly, though, most of my time seems to be taken by my interest in the internet and computer games. As p2p and sharing technologies have matured and gained in power and precision, it is not only viable, but financially sound, to use the distribution opportunites of the internet, in place of or in combination with traditional channels. This is Kaplak's field of work. | For many years, I've tried to build a professional life as a filmmaker and media producer, but for every project, I reached a distribution bottleneck or editorial filters, which were in the way.
