Great read…… Personally as a Nolan fan I think there\’s really only one place for him to go next; The aftelife.

I think if any director has the creativity, the ability and the balls to challenge our thinking on the afterlife, it\’s Nolan.

Distributors are idiots, and that\’s the point of this piece. They don\’t know a good film when they see it, and even after they sign on, they often mishandle the distribution by going too wide too soon or by releasing a film at the wrong time of the year. They refuse to spend on advertising to promote small art films, and just expect an audience to materialize out of nowhere. Indie film distributors are a sad lot. It\’s too bad there isn\’t something like Amazon for indie films. I guess that\’s what VOD is, but it\’s a big mess, too, with no central place you can go to see new indies. I\’m really not worried about what Nolan is going to do next. What I\’d like to know is do the distributors get the VOD profits? And why aren\’t the VOD numbers made public the way the box office numbers are? I\’m getting the idea that it\’s faster and easier for distributors to make money off of VOD than it is for them to place the films in theaters. So they have less incentive to try and make a film get wider distribution.
