Navigating the economically treacherous world of indie film, we are currently weighing the benefits of a) wide recognition or no money or b) some money and some recognition.
At present I am inclined towards a). I do not how to insert a graph here, so I will attempt to explain:
1. Fame for fame’s sake is stupid.
2. Obscurity is by default.
Corollary 2.1. One hopefully deserves one’s recognition.
3. Middle men and women do not directly benefit from your recognition. If their profit from getting you recognized is zero, then they have no incentive to do so.
4. Recognition economically only applies to future events.Corollary 4.1 A middle man or woman will only help if they have a long enough time frame to profit from your recognition.
5. I don’t care.
Conclusion:
6. I will release my debut film on bittorent for free, take out an ad in the New York Times and request donations for the next project.
7. Merry Christmas.
And to all, a good night.
