I agree you want to see a film that makes you feel good. Well said.

Awesome very uplifting. There's still hope for my film. It's great to know there's no one way of breaking in to get notice somehow. Film Courage keep up the good work.

I got 3:15 in and talk of the recession started and I'm like....wait what? When was this shot? Oh snap! I wonder how she took Covid! I am so invested!

Isn’t this the way most movies were distributed till the 80’s or 90’s? Premiere in one town, then gradually move across the country?

Since the 10th Century, pilgrims have walked to shrine of the Apostle St. James at Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. The routes to the shrine originate from all over Europe. The routes are known as "Caminos, " or Ways. Walking a Camino was a traditional penance and pilgrims received an indulgence to pardon their sin. Today, walkers who complete at least 100 kilometers (62 miles) of a Camino earn their Compostela certificate when they reach Santiago. They carry a pilgrim passport or credencial which is stamped along the way.

I'm in the process of planning a 30 city Roadshow and finding this clip is very inspiring I really like her a lot she is what I would like to refer to as a grinder you got to get out there and do yourself because in the long run once Hollywood realizes the work you've been doing and who you are you really can call more shots I would like to imagine

2:34 I don't see it that way. I don't think people go to the movies to see an "uplifting" film. I think they rather seek mindless, not challanging entertainment as a part of their escapism. That's why superhero movies do so well.

Method: guerrilla marketing and a boatload of money for that.

I’m still a little confused. How did she actually get it in the theaters?

[blossomkolee]

Did she charge people for them to go see her movie
