Our sales agent got the film in front of everybody he needed to get the film in front of. All the major distributors saw it at Sundance or got a screener, so he did his job. And we did get offers, but it wouldn’t have been financially responsible for us to take any of these offers because they were, to be perfectly honest, crap. So we decided to do distribution ourselves by selling the movie on DVD on the festival circuit right after Sundance. We decided to play as many festivals as possible and sort of use that as our theatrical run and use all the press from all these little local festivals to help sell the DVD after screenings and online.
There were no DVDs to pass around, and no digital projectors, so each theater needed its own 35mm print in order to play the film. Let me tell you something about 35mm film prints. They are fucking heavier than an Oprah special. A feature-length film requires about six reels of film, which fit conveniently into two 70-lb film cans. Do you want to know something else about 35mm film prints? They are incredibly expensive to make. Each print costs around $2000, so being the cheapo that I am, of course I absolutely never make more prints than absolutely necessary.
