Distributors love a good independent movie just as much as the next guy. But who is the "next guy?" The next guy is the guy or girl next door, and they sometimes like a good independent movie -- not all the time; some times. What's more, considering numerous factors including streamers tightening their acquisition requirements, the glut of studio movies now being released after sitting on COVID shelves for more than a year, and the oversaturation of indie films entering the market, 2022 and 2023 have proven to be a challenge for indies with high-hopes in small packages. For those of you making one or more movies per year, you probably already know this. For the rest of you, I wish I had better news.
