The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Oakley Anderson-Moore: "While it's true that many Sundance films get distribution deals, they aren't always the deals of the filmmaker's dreams.

Het promoten van 'kleine', onafhankelijk geproduceerde films is vaak moeilijk. Hier een schets van een andere weg naar een groter publiek. Productie en promotie van films kunnen door internet en IP tv sowieso niet meer op de oude manier.

The Seth Rogen/James Franco feature was originally destined to be forgotten nearly as soon as it was released, sandwiched somewhere between Pineapple Express and This is The End in terms of quality. Instead, it practically started World War III."
