That's why David Fishman (pictured), a New York City native who had just turned twelve, decided to take himself out for dinner one night. His parents hhad called him at home to say they were running late, suggesting that he grab some hummus from his usual Greek takeout restaurant. David thought he could do better than that, He had recently passed by the Salumeria Rosi, a newly-opened Italian restaurant a few blocks from his home, and had been fascinated by the reflective black wall, the dried pork hanging from the ceiling, the little jars of olives and artichokes on the walls Tf it was OK with his mom (and it turned ‘out it was), he wanted to try that instead. That night turned out to be one of the first that the restaurant was open to the public. David requested a menu, which the waitress handed to him, and decided that it was within his budget. Then he asked for a table for one and waited to see what she'd say. A year before, he had been tured away from a half-empty restaurant and told that it did not serve children unaccompanied by adults. Grown-up or not, tables were hard to come by that evening — every seal was reserved, mostly by friends of the Italian chef and owner, Cesare Casella. Even TV actor Tony Danza turned up, But the waitress decided to squeeze in the Salumeria’s frst unaccompanied customer under 1.4 metres, as long as he promised to be out by 8 pam. It was a deal.Nobody at the restaurant seemed terribly impressed by Tony Danza, but David Fishman ~ now that was something. People tried not to stare, but couldn't help themselves. Where were his parents? Was he enjoying the food? Cash or credit?

Everything else is ‘oe Swanberg makes films about the romantic lives of young people in the city. He shoots quickly with a digital camera and asks actors to wear their own clothes. His low-budget films are hardly ever shown in cinemas. By keeping his costs down and distributing digitally, Mr Swanberg is making a living. Technology was expected tohelp young people like him. A few years ago it was predicted that the internet would vastly increase the supply of small independent films and other niche media products and increase their audiences. That has certainly happened. [1] —] Blockbusters are also tightening their grip on audiences, whether it’s in the area of film, music, television or books. The growth of both niche products and hhuge sell-out successes has been at the expense of the things in the middle which are just quite he near misses, [27] As in the past, people still want to have something to talk about with their friends. Which is why talent shows such as American Idol do pretty much as well as they did ten years ago, and why the latest blockbuster still breaks new records at the box office. Research shows that people still choose blockbusters more often than less well-known books and films, This is Probably because people tend to try only things they have heard of - which for many people means only media-hyped blockbusters. Furthermore, all the technology that has made niche content so much more accessible has also Proved handy for pushing blockbusters, Missed the last popular film?’ 3 | __) Blockbusters are doing well not in spite of the fact that people have mote choice in entertainment, but because of it.

In a world where entertainment choices are growing, it is more important than ever to make a big impact with your product. [5] _] The possibility of failing can make people anxious and more conservative. Television programmes must be successful quickly or they will be cancelled. It is becoming even harder to talk the decision-makers in the movie industry into approving films if they are not confident there is a demand for them. [ET] In the past, these powerful business people could get away with supplying content that was not that good to people who did not have much to choose from. These days, with so many options, there is rarely nothing good ‘on television. So the media industry must raise its game.
