Your parents taught you to cover your ass didn’t they? You like to be prepared, right? You can’t expect to have dinner if you haven’t put food in the refrigerator, right? How come then we make films and don’t have any distribution options lined up in advance? Are we expecting others to always take us for dinner?
When someone is encouraged to make a movie and bring it to market without having any backstop distribution or marketing plans in place, that advisor clearly has another agenda at hand than the investors’ (or filmmakers’) best interest.
