your claiming that the equation has flipped that it now harder to get noticed (at least get noticed to the point where you actually make some money and have success)"

And that statement is bullshit

It way easier for a movie to get made now because the gatekeepers no longer dictate who has a right to show up in the film festivals

When clerks aired at sun dance it was the only non studio film that got airing time.

This year 10% of all the movies were kickstarter funded.

One crowd sourcing company is responsible for 37 times the number of independent movies getting shown at sundance.

The increased difficulty of getting noticed has not grown in the same speed as the reduction of cost of production.

So over all it way easier to succeed as a independent content producer

now if your a studio who was used to being able to block all those independent self funded films from getting an airing. Your fucked and it is a lot harder

but if your independent film maker who used to be completely denied access to the film festivals and now 10% of all the films are independents like your it gotten easier.

0 to fucking 37 is an increase.

and your bullshit argument against that fact is what i was objecting too
You need to relax a little bit. I know you hate me and so as soon as you see my name you turn yourself inside out to prove whatever I am saying wrong, but you are letting that hatred get in the way of what I am actually saying.

My original post in this thread was that Kevin Smith had said these days it is easier to make a film than it was when he made Clerks, but harder to get noticed because of the larger number of films being made. I paraphrased some, but the gist of the argument is there. Kevin is correct in his statement and I was just agreeing with him.

In 2000 the Sundance Film Festival received about 2,500 submissions for consideration by the festival.

In 2011 they received 10,279 submissions.

That is a pretty big increase in competition.

The conversation is over. You and I are saying the same thing just in different words.
