Your audience doesn’t care what camera you shot on. They care if the film is worth watching.

Filmmakers: If your entire strategy is ‘get into festivals and hope for distribution,’ you don’t have a strategy.

Your indie film doesn’t need to be ‘seen by the right people.’ It needs to be seen by a lot of people.

Studios don’t have a ‘bias against indie films.’ They have a bias against movies that can’t make them money.
