Have you ever noticed that people many times define something by what it is not before they say what it is? I’ll try not to do that here, even if what I’m attempting may not even have a real, objective answer for everyone who reads this. Especially since this is such a huge topic. But [...]
I want to offer some news about our film’s release, but I also would like to qualify where our position is in relation to the state of the film industry today.
