WARNER BROS. TECHNICAL OPERATIONS LAUNCHES OUTMYWINDOW(TM) A PRIVATE PHOTO SHARING SERVICE


ALL-IN-ONE CAMERA APP AND WEB SERVICE THAT GIVES CONSUMERS A MORE PERSONAL WAY TO SHARE AND SAVE THEIR PHOTOS

BURBANK, CALIF., July 19, 2012 – Warner Bros. Technical Operations today launched outmywindow(TM) (www.outmywindow.com), a new all-in-one private photo sharing and storage service that gives consumers complete control over their photos and who views them. outmywindow allows consumers to easily take photos and selectively share them with specific friends and family through one-click permission-based albums set by the user. All photos are easy to access and manage from any outmywindow compatible device, including smart phones, tablets, computers, select internet-connected TVs and digital photo frames.

Features include a unique photo timeline automatically generated using the date the photo was taken and a stylish mosaic interface to view your collection, providing a simple way to organize and share photo memories across all kinds of devices. Consumers can import existing photo collections from popular photo sharing sites and libraries on their computers, compatible smart phones and tablets. In addition, they can also capture and post new photos directly from their compatible camera-enabled smart phones and tablets.

Unlike other services, outmywindow maintains the native resolution of the photos so no matter what device, the image is pristine. In addition, outmywindow allows consumers to receive real-time alerts so they never miss seeing the latest images when they are posted from friends and family. The service also organizes photos so consumers can flip back to specific dates to pinpoint photos that were previously added.

“We see photos being another form of entertainment that – much like the content we create – evoke a strong emotional reaction from consumers,” said Darcy Antonellis, Chief Technology Officer and President of Warner Bros. Technical Operations. “outmywindow was created to give consumers an easy-to-use service to capture, share and manage photos with their closest family and friends in a direct and personal way – across multiple devices and screens. While outmywindow allows consumers to access their existing lists of friends and family from a variety of social networks, they no longer have to worry about the complexities of privacy settings or inadvertently broadcasting a photo to people they don’t know.”

Lisa Stone, co founder and CEO of BlogHer saw outmywindow and noted, “outmywindow provides a personal, private and flexible photo sharing service for women in our community who share everything from pictures of their kids to photos for their portfolio. This app accommodates the whole woman in a way few one-size-fits-all web services do.”

outmywindow is also partnering with the non-profit organization Kidsave – whose mission is to create change so that forgotten orphans and foster kids find families. outmywindow lets Kidsave share photos with interested families in a closed network so these photos are not just posted online and available for everyone to see.

“We count on outmywindow to share photos with trusted host families,” said Randi Thompson, CEO and Co-Founder of Kidsave. “Creating connection with potential parents is critical, and now we have a private and more personal way to develop that first step in introducing potential families.” For more information about Kidsave, please visit http://www.kidsave.org/

outmywindow is available for Apple iPhone(R), iPad(R), iPod touch(R), Google TV(TM) and the Web, and coming soon to the Yahoo TV Widget. It can be downloaded from the iTunes store via: http://bit.ly/Mx96k6. The service offers users up to 5 GB of storage space, unlimited bandwidth and supports photos of up to 10 MB in size.

It shows how out of it I was in trying to be in it, acknowledging that I was out of it to myself, and then thinking, “Okay, how do I stop being out of it? Well, I get some legitimate illogical narrative ideas” — some novel, you know?

So I decided on three writers that I might be able to option their material and get some producer, or myself as producer, and then get some writer to do a screenplay on it, and maybe make a movie.

And so the three projects were “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” “Naked Lunch” and a collection of Bukowski. Which, in 1975, forget it — I mean, that was nuts. Hollywood would not touch any of that, but I was looking for something commercial, and I thought that all of these things were coming.

There would be no Blade Runner if there was no Ray Bradbury. I couldn’t find Philip K. Dick. His agent didn’t even know where he was. And so I gave up.

I was walking down the street and I ran into Bradbury — he directed a play that I was going to do as an actor, so we know each other, but he yelled “hi” — and I’d forgot who he was.

So at my girlfriend Barbara Hershey’s urging — I was with her at that moment — she said, “Talk to him! That guy really wants to talk to you,” and I said “No, fuck him,” and keep walking.

But then I did, and then I realized who it was, and I thought, “Wait, he’s in that realm, maybe he knows Philip K. Dick.” I said, “You know a guy named—” “Yeah, sure — you want his phone number?”

My friend paid my rent for a year while I wrote, because it turned out we couldn’t get a writer. My friends kept on me about, well, if you can’t get a writer, then you write.”

“That was the most disappointing thing to me in how this thing was played. Is that I’m on the phone with you now, after all that’s been said, and the fundamental distinction between what James is dealing with in these other cases is not actually brought to the fore. The fundamental difference is that James Franco didn’t seek to use his position to have sex with anyone. There’s not a case of that. He wasn’t using his position or status to try to solicit a sexual favor from anyone. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on. We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm. Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Is that not something notable to say, journalistically? Because nobody could find the voice to say it. I’m not just being rhetorical. Why is it that you and the other critics, none of you could find the voice to say, “You know, it’s not this, it’s that”? Because — let me go on and speak further to this. If you go back to the L.A. Times piece, that’s what it lacked. That’s what they were not able to deliver. The one example in the five that involved an issue of a sexual act was between James and a woman he was dating, who he was not working with. There was no professional dynamic in any capacity.
