Anne Thompson goes indie

The (fish)Wrap had a headline yesterday about Anne Thompson packing up her Variety shit and heading over to indieWIRE, but there was no article to go with it at the time so I moved on with my life. Well, the story is all around now and WaxWorks has the piece up.

Thompson had been laid off from Variety back in January, but her Thompson on Hollywood blog remained stationed at the venerable industry paper. In August however, Thompson will head out on her own with the support of indieWIRE and SnagFilms.

We’re fans of Thompson and we like her style much more than many of the other pros who’ve detached from old-media gigs and ventured out into the wilds of the internet.

Good luck, Anne. We hope your classy voice is heard through the clamor of the Polands, Wells, Waxmans and Finkes of the world.
