Worker/artist owned cooperative — with distribution, to tell their own stories. Images below.
1. Workers, writers, and artists start a cooperative production company
2. They license/option existing stories to the company (which they own together!) and put stories on a website where audiences can access them
3. Stories can be scripts, treatments, readings, storyboards — it's great material in those formats, and people will dive into those stories just the same
4. Share the website (distribution!) with followings, along with a way to subscribe
5. You now have a worker/writer/artist owned cooperative, with distribution, stories, and an audience!
More details in the images below, made as a guide/resource to be helpful.

It's time for a fresh #Introduction with more folks coming into the #Fediverse! Welcome; do make yourself at home. Oh, me? I’m a #queer #punk #DIY media activist with a twenty year history of writing for #newspapers, #zines, and websites, as well as guerrilla #documentary all with a focus on #SocialJustice, holding screenings and running other events and initiatives in different parts of the world. I'm an unpaid carer for a partner with #LongCovid and we live together in #SocialHousing in #Sheffield, UK. I'm a member of #Acorn #RentersUnion as well as the #IWW. I continue to write while working in #DigitalMedia and #technology for #NonProfit organisations, but still live in poverty and my principle of "do no harm, take no shit" has cost me many connections and opportunities for income over the years, so suffice to say I welcome work offers, especially for worthwhile causes, as well as tips! For more info and links, check my profile. Thanks for reading!

Available now from Meson Press: Shintaro Miyazaki's new book “Counter-Dancing Digitality. On Commoning and Computation”
https://meson.press/books/counter-dancing-digitality (free PDF via Open Access)
This has been my most extensive translation effort to date. Going through all these elaborations and finding English words for them, particularly for the idiosyncratic expressions, has been a deep dive into the inspiring network of thoughts presented in this text. I am happy it is finally published: “Digitality is imposed upon us! To change this, we should not turn away from it, but look carefully into its transformative power and make operable alternatives such as counter-algorhythms and solidarity-oriented commoning. The aim is a world where profit and property no longer exist, but instead where a cooperative dance – between all the needs posed by our ecosystems, and all the needs of people – becomes practicable. This book is a critical media theory of future-building, modulated by a focus on the potentials of counter-dancing as providing ways to unfold fugitive practices.”
Prof. Dr. Shintaro Miyazaki teaches and researches in the field of media studies (digitality, computation, critique, and social transformation) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. His collaegue Jussi Parikka, professor in digital aesthetics and culture at Aarhus University & Winchester School of Art, says: “Shintaro Miyazaki’s joyful book builds a media theoretical proposal for collective rhythms in computational culture. The mix of wonderful readings and insights offers alternatives to the depressing beat of capitalism, while maneuvering from cybernetics and computational modeling to play, from media archaeology to Marx and digital commons.”
The German version, published a few months earlier, can be accessed from https://www.transcript-open.de/isbn/6626.

There once was a media firm, Vice
Whose C.E.O., Nancy Dubuc, wanted to get nice
But her hopes for a sale
Came up short with no sale
And the dream of digital media's demise
