"It’s easy to get beaten down by the system." Amen. Thanks to folks like you, Vanessa and Yance, seeing a path to speaking T2P is made clearer. Taking cues, here.

This!!! Thank you!!! “There is no substitute for the long slow road of bringing movies directly to the communities that most need them. Most movies can’t just drop in on this world of abundance of leisure time choices and expect to make a ripple.”

“For a film like ours — or really virtually any non-dependent film made for under a budget of $5 million dollars — it is time for filmmakers to stop depending on a sale achieved at the first festival premiere.”

💯 and please keep this going as an ongoing case study in your Substack of how you and Vanessa are rolling out the film. The more these non traditional rollouts (which is going to become traditional) are laid out for filmmakers then they will sooner become the path that others will seek and not only see sale at top tier festival as the goal.
