While nobody was able to retire early from one film, new methods in distribution has been a tremendous life saver. The strange part is, after selling so many DVDs and Video downloads (yes, I agree that streaming is not 100% - but it's a great source of cashflow without inventory expenses), we received numerous offers for traditional distribution deals. This time around, we passed up the offers. Why involve a middle man when things are going awesomely well? I can tell you one thing. The future is now. And it's totally exciting and profitable!
