Dude. We’ve watched two episodes and I had the same thought. It’s so gratuitous I actually was wondering who the creeper behind the camera is.spike wrote:They’re sure featuring Ruth’s behind

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I agree that physically making the thing is more accessible than ever, but securing distribution for it really isn't. The Issa Raes of the world are extremely rare cases. An overwhelming majority of the time, these projects are completed, they play at a couple film festivals, and very likely end up in extremely niche streaming services like Vix or Filmzie or FilmRise. Relegated to the platforms most people don't use, because the big streamers don't take a chance on them, and theaters are only playing the guaranteed money-makers. So they fade into obscurity and the director takes up a job editing YouTube videos for rich 20 year old gamerstragabigzanda wrote: there’s never been a better time to get your project out there. It won’t get the marketing push to win an Academy Award, but you stand a better chance of recouping costs and getting your next project funded.
