CNN and other news organizations have been begging for years for 'user-generated content' with little to nothing to show for it. The bottom line is that few people have the time, resources or talent to pull it off. Having done a number of short film projects with my son for school, I can tell you that it is a LOT of work and several of his classmates have thrown in the towel when they found out just how un-easy it is to make a film...

Reminds me of when "interactive storytelling" was going to replace movies and video games simultaneously. Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you should.
