This isn't the Seventies or the Nintenties where filmmaking was so cheap anyone could make a movie if they were driven enough.

Shoulda just made a horror film because they eat up any slop

>>217758026
Esposito told Deadline Hollywood in October 2021, she had struggled to get financing for the project from financiers and distributors due to the lack of male lead actors in the film. Funding instead arrived from a unique source, with Deadline Hollywood calling it “the first feature film financed and traded by a global group of fan investors via this first-of-its-kind IPO on Upstream Exchange, the Ethereum-powered digital stock exchange”.[5]

People have it in their heads that streaming=low effort stop.

And that only by putting your movie in theaters does it make it a “real movie”.

It's 100% real and fact (even if I can't confirm it) that she probably didn't reached to any of her A listers nor B listers on any platform to beg for some exposure.
She is a women, probably though that this people "already saw a trailer on their feed FOR SURE" and actively didn't help her
I'm 100% sure non of the people that didn't help her, even knew the movie was out.

i gave you an entire industry that pushes out female centric content on a seasonal basis and you still wanna argue over what exactly?

>>217758552
Most all social media promotion is a hierarchical circlejerk. Was she actively promoting their stuff? She was probably a smaller name than said actors, so she could only expect a flippant "oh hey check out this trailer" post from them if she'd been actively 'glazing' them on a near daily basis. It's also possibly a money thing. Some of those actors get paid just to tweet "yo check out this face cream I totally use every day," so they may well have expected a payday from her if she wanted them to promote her movie, even with nothing more than a link to the trailer.
Thinking that your acting "buddies" would spend time helping you or sticking their neck out for you without direct compensation of some sort is an adorably antiquated way of thinking.

What do you mean, it's easier than ever to make a movie in 2026? You can literally film something in your own house or backyard and upload it for the world to see. How were you going to get anybody to see your movie back in the 70s if you couldn't get studio distribution? Plus you also had to pay for the film stock to get developed, then pay to have reels stuck and distributed back then, etc. Digital and streaming makes it cheaper and easier than ever.

She's pretty dumb for turning down $5 million to not direct, if that's true. She would have still surely retained writing and producing credits on the movie anyway.

>>217764403

Nothing wrong with taking or not taking risks, you gotta measure wether it is worth to take said risk or not. As long as you're responsible and understand whatever consequences come are your doing, for better or worse, then it's good.

if you have to mortgage your home to finance a movie it means you don't know how to work money in the first place and were desperate to get a deal

The film industry is creatively dead. Everything is just recycled and reused stuff. It feels like i'm watching a.i. copy pasta generations.

Alright just finished watching the movie.
It was boring female drama mostly about the two daughters of a mobster (Chickie from Tulsa King). They get heckled by le troubled teens of Staten Island and are angry they're in fear of what could happen to their father or the whole family because of it.
It's like if you took The Sopranos and just showed everything from the POV of Meadow and AJ, but nothing about actual mobster shit happening. Just their life and maybe guessing "our dad might be doing illegal shit that could put us in danger".
I understand why nobody cared back then, I don't know how you can sell this movie. And no, all those indie festival awards don't sell shit.

It's understandable when it's a name you recognize. If it's Scorsese or Spielberg, there's a reason those names are there, the names alone sell tickets because of their reputation. If you're Mr. Producerstein, you want to use that to make money.
