I was thinking out loud, how can we make the film that we want, but at the same time find a Distributor, or do-it our self’s. I’m ASSUMING a few things; we need a realistic budget, say maybe...

Thank Dan Hudgins, well said, especially the part; ”Some might think that a good film is one that makes the most money over its cost. Some might think that a good film is one that shows long after...
