alexandraerin...and they are things about the realities of a movie business in which a $4 million film needs to make $50 million in profits to break even.
It was a massive screed on Twitter, apparently, but The AV Club has a compilation of them. I don't have the spoons to dig into this at the moment, but I see interesting things in there that apply to other creative endeavors.
(Though it's worth pointing out that people who aren't engaged in endeavors that have multimillion dollar backing already have to find ways to do their own promotion in ways that are remarkably similar to what he has in mind. So maybe the post I would be writing here would be less about how Kevin Smith's movie distribution model can lead the way for artists in other media and more about how artists in other media are showing that Kevin's idea should work.)
