Hello again! Great video yet again. I'd love to see a video about four-walling indie films. Keep up the festival and business side of filmmaking plz. Not a lot of people know the business side of the craft, which is why these types of videos are especially helpful. Thank you!

You're welcome! Will look into it - any alternative methods of distribution are always of interest to me so will definitely explore! Keep the suggestions coming! Jim
