There are plenty of professional, well made, and even good movies that either never get distribution or aren't seen by a lot of people.
So true. If one getting distribution were as easy as filmmaker128
(remember him? He has left the discussion) thinks "I believe if you
have a good film, sooner or later It will be discovered and you will
get a fair distribution deal." I have sat in screenings at festivals of
terrific, professional, well made, well told movies with excellent
actors (even "names") and been moved or scared or laughed 'till I
couldn't breathe and even received standing ovations and then
never seen the film anywhere. No distribution at all.
Yes, most of the time the movie that does not get distribution lacks
a level of professionalism. But very, very good films also do not
find distribution other then the "self" kind.
