I'm not sure if you watched his show Comic Book Men that was on over the last few months, but in one of the episodes he made a very good point. Someone asked about whether a person could do what he did with Clerks today. He said yes, but that the dynamic has changed. Back when he did Clerks actually getting the movie made was the hard part because it was expensive to get the equipment then shoot and edit the movie etc. If you actually got your movie made getting into festivals and getting notices was much easier than actually making the movie. Now with technology you can almost shoot and edit your movie right on on your iPhone. Everyone with a few hundred dollars now has access to the technology to make a movie. So the hard part becomes getting through the glut of movies that are being made and setting yourself apart in a way that people notice so that your movie can get viewers and make money.
So you are dead on. Making a movie is one thing, but getting noticed is another.
